I had my gastric sleeve done on Aug. 18. During the surgery the Doc repaired a hiatal hernia as well. Anytime I drink anything I have muscle spasms from the hernia repair. It isn't too painful and only lasts a few seconds. Today I can start soft foods and made scrambled eggs. OMG, the pain from the hernia spasms were horrible. By far the worst pain I have been in since my surgery. Is this normal? I couldn't even eat the eggs it hurt so bad. Has anyone else had this problem? Is the pain from the hernia or the gastric sleeve? Will this pain go away and when? I am ready to eat something besides soup!

I had gas pains for about 7 days after surgery. It was really bad right between my shoulder blades. But when I went for my 1 week check up the doctor told me some of that pain was from the hiatal hernia he repaired durning my surgery. Honestly, the worst of my pain has been from the hernia repair. Every time I drink something I have muscle spasms from the hernia repair. It is not too painful just irritating and annoying.
