I can't be much of a mentor (sleeved 10/26/2016), but almost through the reintroduction diet phase. I'd be pleased to answer any questions based on my recently having gone through it.

Wow. That's crazy! I'm seeing a lot of people saying they have no pain. All I'm thinking is, "lucky you!" I went back to work after 6 days. It killed me. I should have taken longer off! Feel better!

I had my surgery on the 13th December. I have had strange gurgling sounds when I drink. I read on a post to sip really slowly, however it is very common. I too have had all sorts of strange feelings. Tightness, pain in my left shoulder, thank goodness it has gone now.
I would love to hear more about how everyone feels and what they have been recommended. My surgeon was a man of little words. I was given a few pamphlets to read.
This site has been the most informative for me to date. I have typed in things I was feeling in the search bar and then read the posts from others who have experienced it before. It makes me feel so much better...less worried and definitely puts my mind at ease.
Take care Amanda

i got my sleeve done on the 14th of Dec. and feel the same way. i would wake up to the pain and would tell myself its because my stomach is empty so id sit up and sip Water. it would dissapate. then i get it again and i would assume it was gas. tried going on different forums to see what people did to help with pain. sleep on left side. walk alot, drink plenty of Water. and even use heating pad.
one of the things that is helping me is that. 1. prayer and I know everyday that passes I do feel a lil bit better. 2. I made a strict schedule that I try to follow. from the time I wake up, what & how much I drink, meal, exercise, rest, rr visits, and I just journal EVERYTHING. it helped me a lot and it made sure I was drinking enough water, because I was getting dehydrated the day before(that's why I started the strict schedule for myself)
Basically start trying different things that you think would work for you to help with the pain.
Walk, drink water and Tylenol and resting on left side are what I'm trying. so far I'm burbing more than yesterday. I wish I could be of more help. hope you feel better soon.
