I am 6 months post op and since the very day of surgery through all the stages, everything I eat or drink hurts my stomach while I'm ingesting it. Not in the way that I am full. And I DO get my 64+ oz of water in daily. So the full and dehydrated theories are out the window. Anyone else deal with this?

What does your surgeon or doctor say about it?

I agree with Hop Scotch. I'd contact your clinic. That's not normal this far out..

I feel like my surgeon's office is just brushing it off. They did prescribe a medication that I was taking 4 times A-day for ulcers it was something that was supposed to cope my stomach. It helped for a very brief period of time. I have an an endoscopy Scheduled in May this will be the 2nd one since surgery

I would maybe press them a little more. That doesn’t seem right. Did you ask to get on a cancellation list for that may procedure. That’s a long time when your in pain.

Wow that’s terrible!
How can you get in 64 oz when you are in that kind of pain when you drink or eat?!
Hope they find a solution for you!!

I have an appointment with my primary on Monday so I'm hoping when they contact the surgeon that will raise a little more concern on their end. Fortunately water doesn't always hurt.

Are you also throwing up? Is the pain acid related? Or is it more of a physical pain.

I had acid reflux (still do but now I'm also pregnant so there is that) which made everything I ate feel uncomfortable in my stomach. But I didn't experience any physical pain during digestion. A friend of mine developed really bad ulcers and had to get revision surgery which helped for a bit but then the pain returned. Turns out she also had kidney stones which had to be removed. Not sure if you are a woman, but its very common for women to be dismissed my medical professionals. My friend had to keep going to the ER before someone finally took her seriously. They kept giving her IVs and telling her she was dehydrated.
