3 days post op. -question.



Recommended Posts

So I am finally sleeved. Not sure what I feel about it just yet. I've had a rough 3 days. I had excruciating dry heaving episodes immediately following surgery. They tried zofran, phenegran, suppositories, scope patch, and reglan. For at least 24 hours I was vomiting bile. I really started to think wtf did i do? It was very scary. They reassured me that it was all normal and happens to some people. Finally yesterday I stopped dry heaving and was able to Finally get my leak test and get sent home.

Otherwise I am tolerating liquids, taking in my Protein slowly but surely.

I have one question tho, at the top of my stomach when I swallow liquids I get this tight feeling, it's painful at times. I can't differentiate what this feeling is. If it's gas, pain, or something abnormal... Anyone experience this? I assume it's something that will pass eventually.

Your stomach is swollen now so it is likely when liquids are trying to enter it, you are feeling it. Try taking smaller sips and try different temperatures. I didn't have pain like that but others have posted about it. As the swelling goes down, it will get easier.

I am 6 days post op, and I have had that same feeling. Especially the first three days after surgery. It hurts and feels like a spasm. I think like suzzzz said it is caused by swelling. When we swallow it is so narrow at the stomach opening that it hurts until it gets into the stomach. I'm no doctor but that's what I have thought, and now 6 days past surgery that feeling is getting a lot better and way less frequent.

I get the same feeling. I think it's the liquids going into the narrow stomach opening. I try to take smaller sips. I'm sure it'll go away soon.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
