I am 5 1/2 months post-op and still have pain as soon as food hits my sleeve. The pain does go away but the initial food hitting the stomach hurts for a moment. I am always very aware of my new stomach and its sensations. Does this sound normal to other people around the same post-op time?

It could be a stricture, it could be irritation from acid reflux? If it continues for 2 or 3 more months I would ask to be scoped or barium swallow. Try warm liquid just before eating so see if it relaxes the stomach muscle some.

Thank you! I actually had very bad reflux before surgery but my surgeon fixed my hernia as well and I haven't had any other problems with reflux. I'm definitely going to talk with my doctor about it.

I don't think thats a normal reaction to be honest. I have no pain when eating and I had surgery just over 2 months ago.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
