I had mine on August 13th. Recovery is going well after 11 days except for: 1) Starting to feel pretty tired and 2) My eyesight got drastically worse right after surgery. I can’t read without reading glasses. 

Down 16 lbs. 

Hope everyone’s doing well.

I had mine yesterday and NO ONE mentioned how painful it would be after. I mean, it’s just starting to subside, but man, that gas pain is not a joke.

I had my sleeve done on August 21. I’m 5 days post op. Has anyone experienced a terrible pain when liquid is swallowed? I get a sharp pain between my breasts almost like a huge gas bubble forms from the small amount of liquid I swallowed.

3 weeks out and everything I try give me gas. And I don’t know how to burp on command. Is it normal to feel gas when eating something?

[Frustr8 7,886]

usually swallowed gas, smaller bites, slow down, walk or move afterwards, relax. snd don't stress, last resort something,gently,warm like hot water bottle or heating pan.

I had my surgery Friday Aug 24th. I would say the pain was much worse then when I had the lap band.. He removed my band and 9 years of scarring and a hiatal hernia repair. The worst issue is when breathing in. It hurts. I have been using my incentive spirometer every hour and walking around. That is my only complaint.

Nice, congrats! My surgery was 8/17 and I'm officially down 14 1/2 lbs from Surgery Day (I didn't weigh myself right after surgery though) I didn't really start to see a loss until the last maybe 2-3 days or so, but I'm glad it's going down now

I'm 6 days out (8/20) and I experience that pain when I drink cool liquids. When it happens, I start walking right away and try to form a burp, seems to help.
So far warm liquids is the only thing truly tolerable.

I’m 3 days post op and I sip liquid goes down, then a pain and I can hear and feel bubbles go up.
