Speak to your surgeon. That's where your sleeve is.

Do you have berocca over there? It's effervescent multi-vitamins plus a few minerals thrown in. I know it's effervescent but it's hardly any fizz at all compared to sodas and I sip it throughout the day. Been having it since day 1. I was sleeved on 11th August and 26.5lbs down so far. (I didn't do a pre-surgery diet). I have noticed I am a bit low on iron, which isnt in the berocca but you can get liquid iron supplements.

Not me. I have been so hungry all the time and was able to eat more than I should without discomfort. However, after 3 days on puree it all started to settle down and now things are very different. Am not nearly as hungry and eating less. The dog is loving it and sits by me at meal times as she knows she'll get half! Lol!

Had mine on 11th and have to admit did not enjoy the first 2 weeks one bit. But started turning a corner at 3 weeks and am now soooooo much better. 4 weeks today and 25lbs down! Hang on in there. It does get better.

I woke up today and noticed that that familiar hunger isnt half as bad as it has been. I wonder if I'm turning a corner..... God, I hope so!

If it's a hole then you need to get medical attention. Mine was stitched underneath the skin and the skin glued. Sounds like yours has come undone. I did have a small section that took is time healing but it's now pretty much there. Go and see your doctor before you get an infection. X

Yes, if I take a too big sip of drink or too many sips too quickly.

Ok, can anyone help me out. Ever since my surgery I have felt hungry all the time and am able to eat more than I should without any discomfort. I'm now on the pureed stage (3 weeks , 2 days) and my hunger might die down a bit after a meal for about an hour. However, during this time I am burping like billio! It doesn't matter if I have a drink or food, as soon as I swallow something it starts, often accompanied by a few choice parps too. My stomach also sounds like an old drain. I can live with this if it's temporary but if this is gonna be permanent it will really get me down. Anyone know if it will pass or if I'm stuck with it?

OMG I'm not alone!

Anyone got any idea if this flaming burping ever stops? Every meal and every drink has me burping for ages.
