I can feel my sleeve

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?

    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

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.

Oh wonderful i am not looking forward to dealing with this over the next weeks, especially now that I am on full liquids


I notice I feel that pain if I swallow to much at on e

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.
