When waking up from surgery I had a awful pain in the middle of my chest and was told it was for the Gas from surgery.

Ever since then my nose runs all the time and when eating or drinking after a couple of bytes I feel like food and liquid
are stuck in my throat. Then I can touch under my chin and feels like fluid comes up in my throat.

Interested if anyone else has this problem and how you fixed it all my surgeon wants to do is exploratory surgery and I
prefer not going through that again.

those are pretty common symptoms and in time, they will pass. I don't think you have to go through surgery. I'd just give it a few months before I made a drastic decision.

Of course, I'm not a doctor, but I think there are a lot of misconceptions doctors have because no one can understand unless they've actually HAD the surgery.
