Is anyone else having major pain while eating and drinking. I I eat it hurts and I am nauseous. I called and went to my doctor he said to go back

To liquids. I did today and I couldn't even get the protein shake down....I am five weeks out. I just

Had an upper GI but I didn't know if anyone else had experienced this.

my friend and I were sleeved about 4 weeks apart. She had the same problems. they told her she had reflux and put her on either prilosec or prevacid. helped a lot. she also confessed she had been trying to sip a little something to drink when she ate. when she stopped that and got the acid under control she is doing much better. slow down when you eat. my sleeve hurts me when i rush. hope this helps. hang in there.

I am not eating anything. Barely drinking and I am already on meds for acid reflux.....and I NEVER drink and eat at the same time....ever!

so sorry may just take you a little more time to adjust. hang in there

Hi I am 6 weeks out and also having a hard time drinking. It feels like I swallowed a rock. I only take small sips and same results.Warm tea and broth is a lot easer. I was told by a freind that had the sleeve that it gets better with time.

I went through something similar and it turned out that I had a stricture, where the opening between the esophagus and what's left of the stomach connect. It was too small and so food wasn't going down comfortably. My surgeon opened it up during an EGD and problem was solved. While a little discomfort might be normal, severe pain is not.
