Chest pains, definite red flag🚩, substernal? upper chest? entire chest or one triggering point? I find it very concerning, what does your bariatric team say about it? Gas, hmmn, Uncle Si Robertson on Duck Dynasty, thought he had had gas he couldn't burp free, decided to go hunting to work it off, lucky he had some intervention, he turned out to be right in the middle of an ❤ attack. Luckily,he made it through, but will you without intervention. Depends on a wiser person than me sorting symptoms out, but you know, squeaky wheels get theirselves greased first. Be proactive with you, you are the only you that you have! Don't worry this great-grandma to death, do something for you now!

the pain is gas as you are sipping. I went through the same thing every time i took a sip. It seems the gas was trying to pass the liquid on the way down as the burp was coming up. I am now two weeks post op and that seems to have gone away. I dont exactly remember which day but i no longer feel that constant pain in the chest as i am drinking liquids.

I belch furiously after every attempt to eat and/or drink, n matter how slow, at 75-80% Precious Pouch tries to upchuck. Hey I actually ate something that stayed down. 3 well-chewed Club Crackers each with a little pimento cheese spread! Hey maybe she though it was a treat and not food. Hey it is a temporary NVV, a non- vomiting victory, why it did work is like Heaven, beyond all Human Understanding! Why did she accept THAT when she refuses even pureed? IDK but Happy Happy Joy 😂 Joy!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
