Pain in esophugus after revision...

[angelia75 1]

Any one experience pain in esophagus after band to sleeve revision? I thought it was acid reflux, but now I'm not sure. (11 days post op) Also having pain chest in left side at times? Any suggestions?

talk to your doc but it sounds like acid and also maybe the release of the gases they use to puff up your abdomen during surgery, was it laprascopic?

Yes laparoscopic...would I still be having gas pain this far out?

I have gas pains still if I eat or drink too quickly. I didn't have anesthesia gas pains that far out but still feel gas in my shoulders every now and again If I go to fast. I'm one month out. The burning in the esophagus does sound like reflux/ acid. Are you taking a daily ppi?

Yeah my body was getting rid of those toxis for at least 3 weeks, the gas, the anaesthesia, the pain meds, and oohwhee I stank! I had to be on a PPI immediately, some don't.

Started something for acid reflux...feeling much better!

Most of it is probably gas but I couldn't live without my ppi.
