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 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?

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 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'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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
