I'm 4 days post op from vsg and every time I drink something it hurts going down is that normal or I need to call my surgeon

When it comes to pain and something not feeling right ALWAYS call your doc.

I was and am like that....I am 3 months out

When I drank anything cold it hurt at first so I drank tea that went down just fine.

warm is better.... or room temp!

It does and no matter cold or worm it still hurts when it goes down and my mind is fucking with me cause I see my family eating pizza and soda I'm like ugh.

I understand completely.....I still take Zofran.....everyday and I had ny surgery in Sept. When I drink or eat it hurts .....but my doctor told me that 3 percent of people who have the surgery.....will be like that for up to 6 months.....I can tell you I will be 3 months on the 12th and it is just now getting better....not the best ...but better...I just make sure I take my pill every day.....good luck

it hurts for me, too, to drink - i have to drink super slow - definitely keep your doctor informed

Tums help to coat your pouch

I have the same issue... i talked to my doc and he said its normal when drinking cold liquid or Water but that its not my pouch its my small intestine its not used to cold temperatures cause my old stomach warmed up all the liquids before it moved to the small intestine... he said it will eventually go away when it gets used to it...

I had the same issue drinking and eating. Today I tried an experiment. Drinking I only took sips about every 30 seconds and eating I only took a bite about every 45 seconds. MUCH BETTER and less food to get full! I was so used to just pulling down I have to remind myself to slow down.
