A friend of mine was sleeved on Monday and she felt like her neck was swollen. She went to the ER, but not the hospital she had surgery, and the told her it was probably a gas bubble. I happened to be at the ER with my husband and I personally knew the nurse assigned to my husband and I told her I was going to be sleeved and should I just pass up this hospital and go where I have the surgery and she said yes, unless life threatening or I just need I.v. Fluids. I hope my friend is alright, but I haven't heard of swelling in the neck, have any of you?

Perhaps her throat is swollen from the breathing tube they put down for the op.

Every case is different. I was sleeved on Monday as well and I feel perfectly fine today. In fact I went to the barber since I looked like Chewbacca from Star Wars. This afternoon, I plan to even go to the gym just to walk keeping in mind to over do it. I have had my regrets like everyone else, however I am already beginning to see changes and feeling good about them.

I have heard of other people having chest pain because of the gas floating up to their chest after surgery. Haven't heard of a neck swelling, though. There are so many things that could cause it - the throat tube, the anesthesia, the gas, etc. She needs to go back to the hospital where she had the surgery and have them contact her surgeon for a consult.

She is going better, thank God, and believes it was gas
