is this pain normal?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on June 6th and I have the exact same pain you are describing. It hurts especially after I eat something, but it comes and goes at all times during the day and night. Right now it's intense, and I am getting ready to email my doctor. i'll let you know what he says. :)

Update!! So my surgeons nurse called me today regarding my question about the pain. She said its the full sensation. Told me to do 1.5 oz of full liquid meals instead of 2oz. and said she didnt even need to check with Dr. Said if its not the full sensation from the food, then its drinking too much too fast. I said i was concerned about a leak.. she said no way.. because I would really know if it was a leak bc Id be in a lot more pain. So... we'll see for now. My next follow up is wednesday in the office.

Hey there,

So I met with my surgeon today, had another upper G.I. and no leak. He said it's still swollen and showed the pictures of the liquid going into my new tummy very slowly. Basically, I remain on stage II until next week and then we'll see. I think I'll take smaller sips and see if that helps too :)

Oh noooo! I am so scared now.. lol ..well my pain is a little less still there. Happens after i eat.. i think im eating a bit too fast. I went to my PCP today for a follow up... and i asked him .. he said it happens when eating too fast.. he seemed to not really be concerned and said all this is normal. So.. we'll see.. i meet with my surgeon again on the 22nd. Im going to call in the morning though.. im worried now :/

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
