Hello all. I was sleeved on October 22 2012, on my second week of purée and almost finished... Only problems I have right now is horrible chest pain in the area where my hiatal hernia was removed. Along with the chest pain I am starting to not be able to tolerate liquids, even just plain water keeps coming back up as a slimy mess... has eanyone ever has these problems? my biggest fear is that my hernia is coming back. ???? Any advice would be great.water.

I had this issue after surgery, but it was because my Dr did not see my hernia. But he had to go back in and all's fine. I am no longer having the chest pain, are you still having the pain?

Yes. It started two days ago, still happening. I'm just nervous that the hernia could already be growing back.

When you say the phrase "horrible chest pain" that makes me say RUN, don't walk to the nearest hospital and get hooked up to whatever they've got! Do you feel it could at all be your heart, or is it lower where the hernia repair is? That should be lower than your ribcage to the left.

The hernia was stitched up, so unless the surgeon's stitching is faulty, it could not be recurring. Many people do have difficulty swallowing and having pain in the area for a couple weeks or more. Don't be shy with the pain meds, that's what they're for.

It could be normal stuff, but if you feel at ALL like your life is in danger GO to the hospital!
