I can feel my sleeve



Recommended Posts

I am 3 days postop and I occasionally can feel my sleeve when something is passing through. It's a weird feeling yet very painful at the same time. Had anyone experienced this?

Yes, it turned out it was esophageal spasms. I had it every time i ate or drank. It lasted a few months and we're crazy painfull. It did eventually go away tho.

I'm almost 2 years post op and I can still feel my sleeve. I can point on my body and tell you exactly where it is. Depending on what I eat and drink I can feel every inch of it.

The only time it is painful is if I overeat or eat too fast. Your body is telling you to slow down or ease up.

Early on right after surgery I could not tolerate cold liquids. That eased up over the first month. Cold was ok but ice cold or too cold was like daggers.

Interesting I feel it even when I am not swallowing too. My follow up is next week, I will be addressing this question to my surgeon as well.

Thanks for the feedback I'm taking notes, tracking how often it happens and how long after I drink something.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
