I had the bypass surgery done June 28th. About a week after I started having issues with drinking fluids. Whenever I drink and it hits my stomach I'm in severe pain. No matter the amount or temperature it hurts so bad. I have gone to my doctors office 3 times already to get iv fluids because I have been so dehydrated. The second trip I went straight to the er from the doctors office. Anyone else have this happen to them and what did your doctor say? My doctor scheduled me for an endoscopy for this Friday. I was supposed to have been back to work 2 weeks ago and just haven't been able to stay because of the pain.

I'm 4 days post and when ever I drink water it makes my stomach hurt and I feel like it's a big rock that's stuck like it's just sitting on my chest it's so uncomfortable.

That's exactly how I feel. It hurts so bad makes me not want to drink anything else. I'm in so much pain right now. Has your doctor told you anything?

My doctor just told me to walk walk walk, which does help a tiny bit but I try to lay back but that feeling last for hours before it goes away

I have a really good doctor hopefully he can figure out what's wrong. He told me to try propel water and that has gone down easier not as much pain as regular water. He said he had a patient just like me about a year ago and she drank propel and was able to get her fluids in. Try that and let me know how it helps u

Thank you I sure will cause I've been avoiding water now that I think about it I have that problem with almost all the fluids smh I hope this issue resolves its self

I'm the same all fluids hurt so bad. Propel not so much but still hurts bad

Yes, it's uncomfortable, but it does ease up. My problem was constant vomiting for 3 months. Dr. finally did Endo & loosened the pouch a bit and have had no problems since.

Hopefully that's what they do Friday.

This happened to me initially. I hate to say this, but you really have to push through. Assuming nothing's actually wrong with you, it will go away.

Keep trying different temps and different flavors. You've got this!

Thank u soo much.

Try Powerade Zero too. I also developed trouble getting plain water to stay down. I read an article by a surgeon who said to blow all air out through your nose before swallowing anything to limit the amount of air going down. It has been working for me although I still struggle to get all my water in. Hope you get some relief.
