I am sooooooo thirsty. I’m having a hard time understanding my new “signs”. When I drink it hurts right between my ribs. I’m only taking sips. I need to burp and I can’t. Then I feel a little nauseated. Please tell me this goes away.

I was sleeved Monday with a hiatal hernia rx and this is similar to how I'm feeling. I'm not getting all the fluids I need because it hurts to drink. I swallow and feel it go down and then it feels like little bubbles are going up through my chest and then it's like a large balloon inflates in my abdomen, causing serious pain. I would dewalt love to hear that this goes away at some point.

That’s exactly how I feel. I’m not sure if it’s gas yet or what. But you described it perfectly. Anyone have any suggestions?

For me.... I couldnt drink cold water for a while. Still don’t like it (cold shakes were ok)
Try hot water (decaf tea)- workd for me

Thank you!

It took me about 3 weeks to finally feel like I could drink something without the intense pressure pain in my chest. Surgeon said it was from the gas and the swelling of my stomach. Oddly enough, using a straw helped with my pain. They say straws can cause more air to be in your stomach, but I haven't had that issue!

(I'm not a doctor, but that's just what worked for me!)

It’s getting a little better each day! I will try the straw! Thanks!
