Hi all,

I was sleeved 24/6/11, I have been okay suffering alot of acid reflux but its dealable. But i have been having some weird pain just under my boobs right in the middle it happens like a ball of something is trying to escape, VERY DIFFERENT TO GAS PAIN THOUGH! It hurts it is hard to explain though. It happens almost all day but in small parts.

Sorry im not very clear, Some advice if any one knows what this means.'

It's possible you have an irritation in your esophagus from all the reflux. I would make an appt with you surgeon.

Mine got pretty bad so they did an endoscopy and discovered I had developed an ulcer from the reflux. If that's what it is, it's easily treatable.

In the meantime, it's good idea to journal your food intake in case you can find a pattern of it happening more when you eat certain foods.

Thank you for your advice will contact my surgeon on monday thank you again

best wishes xx

I was just thinking what you described was what I felt when I had to have my gallbladder out (before being sleeved). Do you still have your gallbladder?

Hi,

Hi all,

Well went to the ED today had testing done for clots all was ok, Er Doctor says it sounds like reflux. Feeling better now i know its nothing serious, But on the other hand can not wait to eat pureed food getting bored with the full liquids need more tastes.
