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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
