this will go away. It was very painful for me as well and I feared it would be that way for life. It's not. I had the VGS, Hiatal Hernia repair and gallbladder removal. My abdomen was weak for the full 8 weeks and it hurt swallowing and eating. But not HORRIBLE pain. Just discomfort. If you are in big pain, talk to your surgical team.

Also, it's taken till 3 months out for me to be able to drink Water rapidly rather than sipping. If you swallow too much right now it will also hurt.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
