I'm 2 months out, and for the second time this week I've experienced a painful sensation in my chest and anatomical stomach area that comes on suddenly and lasts for about 45 minutes. I have not done anything drastically different since the week before, I have not experienced pain like this before. What does your gas feel like verses your too much food feeling?

Hello everyone I'm about 9 days out and did something a little stupid. My husband and I were taking a walk along the beach yesterday and came upon some rocks. I figured we should walk on them to get through, and I thought I'd be careful. Well, made it almost all the way through before losing my balance. Luckily when I fell I was sure to roll down to my side, rather than landing on my stomach, but ouch! (I'm 25 btw) I feel increased soreness, which is to be expected, but the pain to my lower belly button incision site has gotten worse. Prior to the fall it was managable 1/10 discomfort, now it's about a 3 or 4, and about the level of discomfort i was experiencing on day 4 or 5. And of course now I'm hypervigilant and I see a small quarter-sized bruise that I dont know if it was there before because it didn't hurt enough to notice. If I had popped my internal stitches, would I be in more pain than I already am? Is this just regular pain from a fall or does it sound more serious?

I'm on an acid reducer for the next three months, I'm glad to hear that this is not abnormal

Hi everyone, I'm 8 days out of my sleeve. I've been very surprised that I still feel hungry. I'm not sure how often or how much I should be eating, and I get worried that I see m to be able to finish an entire pudding cup or yogurt. A friend told me she thinks I might not be eating enough to reach full. What does full feel like for you?

It is normal, as your body is still healing. I understand not wanting to be on heavy duty pain meds, but have you considered extra strength Tylenol to take the edge off? Especially if the pain is keeping you from getting in your walking

Hi everyone! I'm a week out of sleeve surgery and feel as though I am starting to get a sore throat. What are some teas, otc meds or lossenges I can use this early in recovery?
