Hello Everyone,

Its been about 5 days since my Gastric Sleeve surgery. Not sure if i drank to much of my shake or not. Im getting this building pain from gut up my chest (also feel tightness in back) and slow goes away when it reaches my throat and it feels like a gas pain not sure if anyone else experienced this. Comes in goes last only a few seconds.

Quick update noticed i forgot to take my Meotoclopramide today think this is reason.

I am not an expert but that sounds like acid reflux, hopefully the medication will bring some relief, let us know how you get on...

I’m not sure if it’s gas or acid reflux like Hop Scotch mentioned but your body is still adjusting to your new stomach so you’re definitely going to experience things like this. It sounds completely normal and should subside in a few days. If you’re concerned though reach out to your surgeon. Hope you feel better soon!

I’m 10 weeks post sleeve surgery and noticed that I get the same feeling when I eat or drink too quickly. I’ve been working on slower sips (not gulping) and smaller bites until applesauce consistency and haven’t felt it since.
