Had my sleeve yesterday!



Recommended Posts

It hurts my chest and stomach sometimes when I take a drink of something. Is this normal? I'm thinking this may be the gas but not sure

It's very normal! Getting up to walk will help the pain along with gas-X strips. Walk walk walk as I walked every two hours and it definitely helped. When my stomach would hurt after drinking I would just take smaller sips and it seems to have worked for me. I had my surgery 12/12/16, so I'm day 5 post-op. Good luck!

It's the gas. Tomorrow is my q week and I still have gas every now and again. Walk walk walk walk it helps and really is the only way to get it out. Stay strong it subsides.

Gas x stripa are dissolved on ur tongue best things ever. My doctor recommend them and they helped . I wouldn't want to be chewing anything right away I don't even think I was allowed just being on liquids .

I've been using the strips but they're not helping as much as they do for others :( and I walk but it doesn't get rid of the pain either. I burp every now and then and it helps for a second but that's it. Does it hurt you guys when you get up to walk? For me, my stomach feels heavy and sore and then my biggest incision that my stomach came out of feels pulled at. It's bearable, but I stand for 5-10 minutes and need to sit back down again. I'm assuming that maybe I'm just still wore out from a major surgery but idk

Try something other than Water. I still can't drink plain water. I drink Propel, Vitamin water zero, Gatorade g2 and Powerade Zero. Typically I drink the Powerade mixed 50/50 with water.

Water has always been my favorite, so I'm not sure. It hurts even when I don't take a drink. I'm thinking it's the gas because it a gurgling, rumbling, burn type of feeling

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
