Hurting when I swallow

[sofianoemi 16]

Hey guys I'm 9 days out of surgery and every time I swallow it sort of hurts a lil going down does anyone else get this n does it go away ?

did you have a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time?

You aren't trying to swallow too much at a time, are you?

Ohhh no sorry you are having discomfort! I had a similar issue! It turned out to be gall stones. I had my gall bladder removed 2 days later! I would call Dr.'s office & see what they advise! I had immediate relief post gall bladder removal surg. Best of luck to you...

I'm 13 days out and I am having pain when u swallow as well. This just started these last few days. I did have a hiatal hernia repaired as well. I have an appointment with my surgeon this afternoon so I will see what he has to say...

This is normal. You have just removed ~85% of your stomach and the remaining portion is healing. This is why it's important to eat/drinking slowly. It goes away.

I am experiencing the exact same thing! I am 6 days post op and my throat was scratchy and felt like I have a lump in it. Today it is much more sore and painful to swallow. I have a call into my doc about it. I suspect it is a side effect from the intubation during surgery. sugar free Popsicles are my lifesaver right now!

Heyy I might be drinking too fast still trying to get use to not to gulp too much but I am so glad I am not the only one who is experiencing the feeling good luck everyone

Sleevarilla I didn't have it I think I am drinking too fast

I am about six weeks out and I still have it if I don't take an acid reducer. I hear it gets much better in time

Just to clarify mine is not exactly painful. I guess the best way to describe is I used to feel the muscles working as I swallow and if I swallowed to much or too fast it was uncomfortable. As long as I sipped & swallowed slowly I was fine and eventually it went away as I healed.

I had a hernia repaired and now have scar tissue forming. The scar tissue along with the swelling is not allowing hardly any liquid to pass. The doctor wants me to wait until the swelling goes down (another 3 weeks of liquids!) to see how much I will be able to get down. If still not enough they will have o use a scope with a balloon to open it up some. It's a minor set back but nothing I can't deal with.
