I am 5 days post-op with a hernia repair as well and I am having the same experience. The best way to describe it is I can feel everything travel down after I swallow. It hurts a bit and feels very weird at the same time. All I know is I can't wait for it to go away because it makes it difficult for me to want to drink anything.

don't sweat it! my surgery was 5-4-15 where I weighed in at 251 and as of today I am 218. I was feeling like that was not enough but I'm learning to be patient with the process and focus on my eating and liquids. stay positive and the weight will come off.

Update: Sleeved on yesterday!!! I feel pretty good aside from the gas pain. It's horrible. I'm getting up walking as often as I can. One thing popped up this morning. My white blood cell count is high so they are redrawing my blood to make sure. Other than that I'm super excited and ready to go home. Hope all my May 4th sleevers are doing well too...

May the 4th be with you!

@@kelley74 Welcome I'm also scheduled for May 4th in Springfield, IL. with Dr.Icaza.

May 4 is mine

Because it is an unknown for me and I have the sick time available, I am taking 4 weeks off. I have had terrible reactions to surgeries in the past and I do not want to take the risk. FMLA should be your protection if your company has over 50 employees. Like @@Bonawanabfree said talk to HR prior to and you should be just fine. Good luck...

Finally got my surgery date. I can't wait to get healthy so I can be around longer for my 4 babies (husband and 3 kids). I'm grateful I've been given a 2nd chance at life.

Surgery scheduled for May 4th!:-)
