Pain in center of chest after drinking.



Recommended Posts

I am having pain that kind of feels like gas pains but happens when I drink the most. But it does happen by itself even if I don't have nothing to drink. I am only 2days post op. if any one could tell me if this is normal.

I'd say it's pretty normal. I had it after each sip for at least 4 days out. Got better each day. Gone now when drinking liquids.< /p>

I'm 4days post op and today I've been having the same trouble after every time I take a drink of something, I was really concerned because it wasn't happening yesterday, I did have a hiatal hernia repair done and didn't know if it was related or not. The pain is right below my sternum and lasts a minute or so. I'm having a hard time getting my fluids in today because of it.

Yea I get my liquids in just pretty uncomfortable doing so but I just don't want to get dehydrated or anything so I just try to fight through the pain. Some times is worse than others.

Completely normal, It's like esophagus spasms.

My dr gave me a med that would help. But even now at three months out I have horrible chest pains if I drink to fast or too much. You will learn your body/sleeve but it might take awhile. Good Luck and congrats on your new journey!

Totally normal. It will get better every day, and will go away after a couple of days.

You might be drinking too fast, I know sometimes I do, then I get that pain. Maybe gas.. using GasX and walk as much as I can. Hope it gets better soon

I was sleeved 5/22 with a hernia repair and I have the same thing. Every drink I get what feels like a gas bubble under my sternum, but it usually goes away pretty quickly (usually after I burp). My surgeon explained it to me like our stomachs are a clogged drain and when liquids go down it can "glug" air back up. I hope it goes away soon!

Try drinking smaller sips or only swallowing part of the liquid in your mouth. Then when that passes, swallow the rest. I'm almost 3 weeks out and it most definitely does get better. Good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
