I was sleeved a week ago today. I have this pain in my esophagus kindof right in the middle of my boobs. Feels like I dry swallowed a huge pill and it got stuck. Not terrible stabbing pain but an annoying ache that gets worse when I inhale. Feels like I really need to hick-up or burp but the gas won't come up it's just stuck there. Anyway' date=' I called my dr to ask about it and she's said go to the hospital where I had the sleeve done and go to the ER! What?? Why?? what is it???[/quote']

I Had the same exact thing last week I took a Percocet and it went away a day next mourning I'm 3 weeks post op it was painful I couldn't walk long periods of time it was crazy

Glad to hear they were able to get to the bottom of your problem. I know how you feel about getting scared when told "get to the ER NOW" I wasn't even home 24 hours before I was sent back to the hospital for a CT scan because I had the symptoms of a leak. Turns out it wasn't a leak but my spleen. Part of it died when they cut off the blood supply when removing the stomach. I was in the hospital for an additional 5 days for pain control. I'm happy to say that I am home and that pain is gone. I hope you are comfortably recovering! Take care and sip,sip,sip!!

Wait a minute! They left something IN you? What? How do you get it out?

Lol they were suppose to leave the monitor in me. It was a device that stayed in for a couple weeks to measure how much acid comes up to see if I needed my hernia repaired also. The device was a little bit bigger than a pill and it was suppose to just come off my esophagus and digest but it got stuck in my hernia repair then bounced around my sleeve causing some pain.
