My surgery was Tuesday at 8am. I've just been told that due to my limited liquid intake, I'm not eligible to go home. I can only drink about 8oz of Water every few hours. The main reason I don't drink is due to the gas bubbles that occur everytime i even take a sip of water. With every sip comes about 5 or 6 burps I have to force pit before I can manage to drink again (otherwise I feel like I will vomit).

Did this happen to anyone else? This just doesn't seem like the typical "post surgery gas" that I need to work out. I walk and walk, but no matter what I do, I can't get this gas to go away!!

So sick of being in the hospital!

I was sleeved on 11/20 and I still can't drink plain water.. It hurts but if I mix crystal light in it then I'm fine.................. Don't give up but the first few days I could only get a few sips in...........

My surgery was done in a clinic and I stayed one night.when I went home I drank very slowly and did have some acid pain. Taking a ppi drug helped. I would say I drank at a similar pace you describe. If I needed it,I would have gone back for IV fluids. Wonder why they can't let you go home and have you come back for fluids if needed.
