I just had my bypass surgery on Monday this week. I’ve been doing good but have been having pain at my incision sites. I have six of them. One hurts really bad and the doctor said it’s where he had to scrape my band out. I also had my gallbladder removed. I ate broth in the hospital and was fine. I just tried to drink some more and it was hotter than the hospital. I had the worst heartburn feeling. It really hurt. I’ve not had heartburn before. Has anyone experienced this?

Just had my gastric bypass surgery this Monday too and my incision on my far right hand side hurts more than the others.. still no appetite but easier to drink water

I also find that cold fluid are more soothing. Did try warm broth but was very uncomfortable and a bit of sensitivity on my tummy

Yeah, I took on some broth on day three a little hotter than the hospital and it resembled heartburn.

I put it down to sensitivivity post op. Remember it's all swollen, inflamed and raw in there right now so a little heat can give you a reaction, and while there's little nerves down there to feel pain there is enough to register a burning sensation. I still prefer warm fluids to ice cold though.

Intubation during surgery can cause a minor sore throat so that is probably why you felt awful after drinking extra hot broth. For the next week or so, try not to drink overly hot liquids until your throat irritation calms down.

Hey there,

Dr. Johnson also did my surgery. I had a band removal and hernia repair on 3/26/2018. I had some heartburn a few weeks after my surgery and they put me on some over the counter Prilosec. I would call the office if you have any concerns. Dr. Johnson's nurse, Emily is quick to get back with you.

By heartburn do you mean acid reflux from your stomach or do you mean you had some burning in the back of your throat?

It was a really sharp pain in my chest. I walked and laid flat but it took until the broth was down to go away. I talked to the office today and she told me hot liquids could cause pain for a few weeks but I’m eating warm now lol
