Hello All,

I was sleeved on Monday and developed a sore throat soon after. Also, having trouble getting liquids down and home on oxygen. Hoping to turn the corner soon. Any encouragement would me much appreciated. Nina

Your sore throat may be from the intubation during surgery. Regarding drinking, try warm liquids rather than cold, and straight Water can be difficult after surgery. Take tiny sips frequently. Staying hydrated is a full time job at this point!

Congrats on your surgery, this really is the hardest part, so be kind to yourself x

Sore throat seems to be common and probably is from the tube. All the pain, gas, etc usually goes away after 3-4 days. Walk, walk, walk and drink as much as possible...it does get better I promise. You are on your way to a new you and a much better life. You made the right decision....you will be thinking/saying in no time "this is the best thing I ever did for myself."

I too was sleeved on Monday and my sore throat began Tuesday, its already getting better, try frequent small sips of water. Good Luck, feel better.

Dad's ended up being thrush
