is this pain normal?

I was sleeved on June 6th and I have the exact same pain you are describing. It hurts especially after I eat something, but it comes and goes at all times during the day and night. Right now it's intense, and I am getting ready to email my doctor. i'll let you know what he says.

Update!! So my surgeons nurse called me today regarding my question about the pain. She said its the full sensation. Told me to do 1.5 oz of full liquid meals instead of 2oz. and said she didnt even need to check with Dr. Said if its not the full sensation from the food, then its drinking too much too fast. I said i was concerned about a leak.. she said no way.. because I would really know if it was a leak bc Id be in a lot more pain. So... we'll see for now. My next follow up is wednesday in the office.

Hey there,

So I met with my surgeon today, had another upper G.I. and no leak. He said it's still swollen and showed the pictures of the liquid going into my new tummy very slowly. Basically, I remain on stage II until next week and then we'll see. I think I'll take smaller sips and see if that helps too

Oh noooo! I am so scared now.. lol ..well my pain is a little less still there. Happens after i eat.. i think im eating a bit too fast. I went to my PCP today for a follow up... and i asked him .. he said it happens when eating too fast.. he seemed to not really be concerned and said all this is normal. So.. we'll see.. i meet with my surgeon again on the 22nd. Im going to call in the morning though.. im worried now :/
