Hi everyone. I'm 4 days post op of having my sleeve done and have noticed some really bad discomfort in my lower chest, upper abdomen area. This pain comes and goes but will normally happen when I try drinking water or liquids. If I had to describe the feeling, it would be as if I swallowed 3 pills and they feel stuck. Anyone experience this after surgery?

What you are experiencing is just from swelling, drink slow and drink constantly

Also it is just a different feeling. I was trying to explain it to my friend the other day. When you have a normal size stomach, it goes off to the side and down, so things sit kind of to the lower left of your rib cage. With a sleeve, all of your stomach is just in the main part of your chest with your other organs, so you feel it more, because it is right by everything else. so if I am greedy and over eat, or my sleeve is just feeling tight that day it feels like a baby elephant is standing on my chest.
