I feel the same was sleeved 10/4/17 also. First sip of Water when I came home I had dry heaves... horrible. I still have quite a bit of pain & am trying not to use the pain medication.

When I sip anything I can feel the pain in my stomach as it goes down. Nervous to drink too much or too little.

Anyone have suggestions?

I was sleeved on 10/4/17 and had to go back in for fluids. Dehydration is no joke. I’m still having a hard time getting in fluids, but I was able to get in a shake today, so that is progress.

Good luck to all of you. The beginning was the worst part. I would say it took a good month before I started to feel myself again physically and about 3 months before I really started to feel myself again mentally.

Tips: Take small sips, adjust the temperature of liquids if you are having pain with fluids. I found that I could tolerate colder beverages better but some people tolerate warmed or room temp beverages. Take your time and take slow sips. And most importantly move! The gas can take a while to get rid of and moving really helps.

      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.
