I was sleeved on 6/6 and am on Clear liquids. I get a sharp pain in my stomach when I drink liquids. Sometimes it's from gas and sometimes it just happens on its own. I have tried sipping liquids in all temps and gas X strips which do not help. Is anyone else experiencing this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

In my case the multiple appeals were done by my surgeons office. I tried calling them myself and they would not give me any info saying that only my surgeons office could receive info. I guess it depends on your insurance and state. Don't give up and Good Luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgeon said that the opening to my stomach may be narrow due to swelling and to wait 2-3weeks to see if it gets better otherwise he would do a swallow test to see how food goes down and if anything he can do another procedure to widen the opening but I wouldn't see as much weight loss. He also started me on soft foods to see if that helps. If I eat puréed foods it hurts worse, but sometimes it doesn't. Good Luck Everyone. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
