I am 5 day post op. I had gastric sleeve on 6/19 and was sent home 6/20. I thought that was extremely soon. Anywho, I am having random stomach pains. They remind me of the pain felt when trying first meal post surgery. It happens so sporadically throughout the day. Even my pain meds can’t keep up. I’ve been told it’s normal but geez this is so painful. I do ensure that I walk and I’m getting about 30 oz of fluid on a good day. Is anyone else experiencing this? Anything I can do to help minimize the pain or make this whole process more bearable? Also, everything that I have tends to run straight thru me.... literally. I take a few sips of broth and can feel and hear it work its way thru my system. In 15-20 mins, I’m seeing it again from the other end. Is this normal?

Thank you so much. I did talk with my doctor today and was told it’s all normal but that I need to work on getting more liquids in because I’m not getting nearly enough. So I will focus on meeting my liquid requirement and once I’m good with that, then I will start trying to eat again.

My doc Just prescribed anti nausea and the Tylenol/oxy combo pain meds.

2 days post op here! And miserable lol but glad I made the decision to get this surgery.

I am having the same issues. I got my surgery 6/19 and have had so much gas, burping and hiccups. It’s so frustrating.

I am June 19. Current BMI 53. I am so nervous but very excited.
