Gastric Sleeve Surgery Yesterday

I sip water or anything it's acting like it gets half way down and stops. Then all of a sudden it makes this funny noise kinda like a burp and girgle and I can feel the sip go into my stomach. I'm on clear liquids for the next week. Anyone else experience this?

I haven't experienced it myself, but it sounds like you may still be swollen, especially since you were just sleeved (congrats by the way!). I don't know what size sips you are taking, but at first I literally had to take such small sips it was like I wasn't sipping at all. I just constantly had a little bit of Water in my mouth and I let it down very very slowly or I was very uncomfortable. If I take too big of a sip now (I am almost three months) I get that tight feeling, almost like it is getting stuck. I imagine it like a funnel, you can get the amount in but if you do it all at once it gets stuck for a moment.

I would also ask your doctor about it. You should be seeing him/her soon and if not it can't hurt to call. I have heard of people getting strictures (very rare). Besides, it can't hurt to ask to make sure.

Good luck!
