I️ just had the gastric sleeve and hiatal hernia surgery performed on 3/22, I’m 2 days post op. My incisions are tender as can be expected, but I’m really having trouble drinking anything. Every time I️ swallow I feel a deep pulling pain in my (lower) chest. Has anyone else who had both these surgeries experienced this? If so, how long did it last? What did you do to alleviate the discomfort?

Today is my surgery day too! I️ go in at 12noon and surgery is at 2:00pm. Good luck to you and to all of us going in today!

Wow! You’re doing really well with weight loss. You’re almost 3 months post op. Are you exercising?

What did you do to alleviate the gas pain?

Awesome! My surgery is not until 2pm.

I️’m having vsg surgery on Thursday, 3/22 (yay). I’m excited, nervous, and anxious. I️ know everyone’s experience is different, but I’m curious to know what was the worst part of your recovery?
