Little better each day. Still having spasms with just about every swallow but much less painful each day....

Thanks everyone. I phoned my doctor. Picking up sublingual levsin for the spasms and phenergan in case nausea develops....hope this helps. Is better when I walk and sip Popsicles....

Gastric sleeve 24 hours ago. Feeling really good except unable to drink anything without a "spasm" like pain when the sip of anything reached the stomach. Is this normal? It doesn't matter what I sip...warm broth, Water, juice...everything uncomfortable. Trying too hard? worried about dehydration...

Thanks everyone! All of your comments have been helpful. I am now really looking forward to the sleeve. Having more control over my hunger and appetite cravings has always been a dream for me and it sounds like many of of you had had success with this with the sleeve. Thanks again1

Hi, I'm new here. Had my band for 5 years before removal 2 weeks ago. Lost 50lbs at first, then nothing. I'm hungry all the time.... Fullness was never achieved with the band. A couple bites of healthy food didn't give a full sensation, just pain or vomiting if I tried to eat more. It did not take me long to figure out how to 'graze' to satisfy my hunger. After a diagnosis of severe reflux, the band filler was removed and I gained back all the weight. Now I'm looking to have the sleeve but I'm terrified of making another mistake.... Will this 'tool' really help me with appetite/hunger?
