I had the sleeve done on Monday and besides the normal adjustments and pain, I am doing fairly well. I have one big concern, above my largest incision, the skin is all swollen and pouching out over the incision. I am worried that it may be a hernia or something in using the muscles too much getting up and down. I can press against it and it flattens out, but I am concerned. Any advice?

I had this too for a few days. I was sleeved on Monday 11/23 and had that brick in my throat show up around day 3. Best thought is that it is your throat maybe healing from being intubated. Mine felt like if I could just burp enough it would go away. Today is day 6 and it it almost all the way gone. Good luck.

I was sleeved this past Monday and I know what you mean about the pain in your chest. I have to take deep slow breaths often almost like childbirth class. I too am struggling with liquid, I had a problem with nausea and threw up almost everything the first 3/4 days. Finally I tried some lowfat vanilla yogurt and the consistency of that seemed to settle my stomach. Best best wishes.
