5 Days Post Op.....questions



Recommended Posts

I am home from TJ and was sleeved by Dr. Garcia on July 2. I am getting my liquids but this rumbling in my tummy after every sip of everything is annoying. Some pain and discomfort as well after a sip. Please tell me this is somewhat typical??????

Yes, you are totally normal! I am a little over 3 weeks out and my tummy gurgling has quieted some. Also, the pain when I drink is gone!

Oh good news then! I know we are all different in our post op journey. Will be glad when the pain of sipping goes away for sure.

Yes I was sleeved on July 2nd as well. Prilosec has helped my stomach gurgling. I totally forgot my doctor advised me to still take it when I got home. I have real minor irritation if I drink to fast or swallow too hard. hopes this helps..

I am 12 days post op and I still get the gurgling. All pain from drinking and eating has completely gone away except when I drink or eat to much. Doc says the gurgles are just your guts letting you know they are there lol

Im 12 days out and every time I try to eat anything (even liquid soups) I have a sharp pain in my chest. I hold my chest and it goes away as quickly as it came. So frustrating. I assume this is normal. The only thing I can have that doesn't do this is Water. Anyone tell me how long it will do this or putting off eating just prolong the misery?

Try having whatever you are eating or drinking being room temperature. If I eat or drink anything that is hot or cold I get that pain. Room temperature doesn't do that to me.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
