What the heck is this feeling? ?

Hi my fellow sleevers!! I am 5 weeks post op and I woke up with an excruciating pain th3 other but it we t away after 50 deathly groans on my bed sweating. That's not even 2 hat I wanna ask u about. . After that crazy unpredictable episode I have been having this pain which is the same pain I had for at 7 days after surgery.

Ok the best way to describe it is someone squeezes the inside of my stomach while poking them with needles and as that's happening the pain shoots all the way up to my throat. It last for 5 Seconds then subsides only to come back after 1 minute. It seems to get less by lying down but I can feel it's evil sneaky self trying to creep back up but can't. Lol please take your time to tell me what it could be. My sleeved friend said I know 2 what this is I took this meds and it goes away. English isn't her first language so I'm not sure ...I need u guys! Yes it's new for now but was there first week of surgery. . I can't talk until it passes.

Did you call your surgeon? If you haven't, please do so immediately. There is no reason for you to be in that kind of pain, and it could be something your surgeon needs to tend to right away.

Ok so that extreme pain went away after I wrote this post but now I have gas pains in chest and under my breast area...I wasn't eating before this happened. I was drinking only. I went to the ER..somehow in this country the ER is packed. Doc just said this is typical to have gas pains. I said I haven't had gas pains since day 6 and now it's back?? It hurts to drink like the first 2 weeks too. I'm 5 weeks post op. Surgeon said I can eat solids at 5 weeks but I decided to wait till 6 weeks and all of a sudden this happens. Can it be from not goin to the bathroom this week? Could it be bcuz I used to get gassy and bloated easily pre surgery?

They also said I was dehydrated and gave me iv as well as something to help with my sudden nausea.I came ho.e at 1 am only to throw him phlegm looking stuff basically nothing. And hurts to drink again and I also have a fever cuz my daughter had a bad cold and now I got it. I'm just miserable. . Just as I thought things were getting better. .
