My nurse told me that whenever I feel pressure right below my breastbone that this is my sleeve telling me it's full. The problem is I feel this pressure all day; it just gets worse after I try to eat or drink. I feel like my water is going down my throat and just sitting right at the top of my stomach but not actually going in. I feel the pressure AND hunger at the same time. The nurse told me gas should have worked its way out by now so what could it be? Acid maybe? It's so weird to feel hungry and simultaneously feel like I can't get anything in. Help!

I'm thinking a call to the doctor is in order.

​Guarantee it is acid. Did they give you acid reflux med? You should be taking one daily at least for a while.

They didn't send me home with anything for acid reflux. I spoke to the nurse this morning and she says it's not acid, it's just that the opening to my stomach is barely any bigger than a pencil eraser right now (I'm 6 days post op). She says I probably just drank too fast or took too big of a sip. I still feel like it's acid but we'll see how it goes.
