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...

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....

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?

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
