Just had my band removed and got sleeved, same op, out of theatre now and up on the ward sucking on my ice chips. I have to say I feel fine ! Pain is minimal at around 0 to 1 out of 10. I have started to have this occasional discomfort, where every few minutes, feels like reflux, never had it before, feels like a ball twisting at the bottom of my throat. Anyone have this so soon post op ?

good luck!!!!

Congrats!!!! good luck on your recovery.

feels like reflux

@@johnsydney

yes it could be reflux

i think that does/can happen PO

unfortunately this can be a side effect of the sleeve

hopefully you'll feel better sooner than later

glad other things are moving along in the right direction

and you are barely in any pain

walking is good for you - esprcially if you are experiencing any gas problems

good luck

speedy recovery

I felt something similar. My doc explained that the nerves in the stomach aren't very specific and told me that the pain would feel like bad heartburn, it went away after the second day. Hopefully it's that and not actually reflux! Good luck!

Hi my name is rose I'm new to all this but I'm post op day 3 and have the most uncomfortable gas pains and I walk a lot! I see I'm struggling with fluids and broth bc I'm not hungry so if anyone has any pointers please fill me in???? I did the sleeve and I'm happy with my choice but I feel like this week is gonna be hard bc I'm on clear liquids and I'm allergic to Aspartame, so my choice are limited! Please help with ideas on staying hydrated and energized!

Hey all, I'm a bit concerned that I can drink too much fluid. I'm on my third day post surgery and I can easily drink 500mls in one go without any discomfort. Is this too much ?? Is this a sign that my new stomach is too big or something ?

Congrats to all you new sleevers.

Had my sleeve done Aug 12th also. I think the gas has finally gone away. My biggest problem has been I can't even keep Water down. I am trying a Protein shake now because i know I've got to get something into me. I have spent most of the last 3 days sleeping. I didn't expect to feel this awful, but no regrets.

Congrats to the new sleevers! Keep us posted:) remember walk walk walk
