Will It Always Hurt? Help!



Recommended Posts

Hi, I had my surgery 07/25 so 1 week post -op today. For the most part I am doing ok but my sleeve keeps growling and making crazy sounds. When it does that it hurts? also hurts a whole lot when I try to drink my flids and Protein. How long does this last? will it get worst as I am allowed to move up in stages of what i can eat?

Thanks for the support! :unsure:

I had my surgery march 30th, it's the wind that hurt the most and it has taken me about three months to learn how to deal with this. It's like a baby learning to cope with it, I have used infa care a wind medicine for babies (my dietian advised this). I now find that if I take tiny sips of Water and small amounts of food my new stomach can cope with it.

Don't give up it just takes time to adjust. It's the best thing I have ever done!

My sleeve makes all sorts of weird noises too. Most of them don't hurt, but some do. It seems like the smaller sips I take and more time I take having meals, the less noise it makes. Also if I try and eat every 2 hours it's less talkative too.

Thanks. Doc just took out my drain today and I am feeling much better.

Glad to hear your feeling better. I didn't have a drain, so no help there. I will tell you that every time I advance to a new phase of food my stomach makes all of these weird gurgling noises. It doesn't hurt, but is very loud. It cracks me up every.single.time. It only lasts for a day or so.

My surgery was on July 30 and my new tummy makes all kind of noises. I can't wait to see what it does when I start adding food. Lol

I was listening to all the gurgles, grumbles, and such last ***ht. Some hurt, but it is not unbearable.

I'm having the same problem, I thought I was alone! It hurts at times to swallow and I'm hearing all this gurgling and rumbling and I'm still struggling with gas.

Whenever I start to feel gas pain I get up and walk around and that usually helps. I still haven't burped or farted any. If I take to big of a drink then that hurts too.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
