I was just banded on July 3rd, and I have felt like I had to cough something up out of my lungs since I woke up in recovery.
It hurt like hell to cough, but I just coughed up a grey glob that looked just like an oyster!
Has anyone else been coughing up shellfish post-op?

I was banded on July 2 and was fine in the recovery room. When I went to my regular hospital room, I felt like I had to cough and some gooky grey/green stuff came up. It only happened one time. I asked the nurse and she said it was common. It's from surgery and having the tube down your throat during the surgical procedure. You will be fine.
