I am one week post op today. I am having a lot of like burps that don't actually come out, they just really hurt my chest and shoulder. These happen all day long, with or without eating and drinking. I am having a lot of shoulder pain and also am quite nauseated still and have a hard time eating. I am scheduled for a barium swallow tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone else had these issues? Overall I am feeling quite terrible.

One week postop issues

No fill. He was actually concerned it would be too loose to last me the 6 weeks until my first fill. -

No, I haven't had one yet. I am only having one because I called them with the above complaints. -

I got nauseous 2 days later and had a dry heaving episode that lasted a couple hours. I have not had that since but have been nauseous. They had me quit the pain meds to see if that helped but it didn't. I just don't want to do this swallow if it isn't necessary and I need to just suck it up! -

So it is common to feel nauseated all the time still? I can deal with the shoulder and chest pain but I just feel sick to my stomach non-stop. My surgeon is who ordered the swallow. -
Question about preop liquid diet & nutrition
darbymc23 replied to Corridor72's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am on the Opti-Fast 800 diet per my surgeon and have surgery next week. It consists of two shakes, two bars and a soup packet a day. Nice to have a a little variety. -
