I had mine yesterday morning and was released a out 130p today. Doing well so far. The left side incision is very sore, worst getting up and down. Worst think so far has been the heartburn/reflux...and anything I drink seems to hurt going down, I can even feel it hit my new stomach. I'm hoping that subsides in the next day or so.

The liquids do feel funny going down for the first several days. Mine started feeling normal on day #4. Getting in the liquids is hard but keep up on them and walk as much as you can. Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions. I am POD #8

Hi, I had mine done six days ago and have been going through the same issues. It gets a little better every day. Walk as much as possible and drink very slow. My doctor gave me medicine for the nausea and reflux, and for the pain.

Stay positive it'll get better.

Regards,

I am on meds for acid that the surgeon prescribed, so no reflux for me. I'm 4 days post-op, so just now on my second day of full liquids. I spent 2 nights in the hospital and felt like I really needed it. I couldn't imagine going home before that...I was still having a lot of trouble with anesthesia side effects before that. Anyway, the thing I'm having the mist trouble with is sipping slowly enough. When I'm thirsty I just want to drink! But I've managed to get the fluids and protein in so far. I have felt significantly better each day. It will get better!
