Will It Always Hurt? Help!



Recommended Posts

Hi, I had my surgery 07/25 so 1 week post -op today. For the most part I am doing ok but my sleeve keeps growling and making crazy sounds. When it does that it hurts? also hurts a whole lot when I try to drink my flids and Protein. How long does this last? will it get worst as I am allowed to move up in stages of what i can eat?

Thanks for the support! :unsure:

I had my surgery march 30th, it's the wind that hurt the most and it has taken me about three months to learn how to deal with this. It's like a baby learning to cope with it, I have used infa care a wind medicine for babies (my dietian advised this). I now find that if I take tiny sips of Water and small amounts of food my new stomach can cope with it.

Don't give up it just takes time to adjust. It's the best thing I have ever done!

My sleeve makes all sorts of weird noises too. Most of them don't hurt, but some do. It seems like the smaller sips I take and more time I take having meals, the less noise it makes. Also if I try and eat every 2 hours it's less talkative too.

Glad to hear your feeling better. I didn't have a drain, so no help there. I will tell you that every time I advance to a new phase of food my stomach makes all of these weird gurgling noises. It doesn't hurt, but is very loud. It cracks me up every.single.time. It only lasts for a day or so.

My surgery was on July 30 and my new tummy makes all kind of noises. I can't wait to see what it does when I start adding food. Lol

I was listening to all the gurgles, grumbles, and such last ***ht. Some hurt, but it is not unbearable.

I'm having the same problem, I thought I was alone! It hurts at times to swallow and I'm hearing all this gurgling and rumbling and I'm still struggling with gas.

Whenever I start to feel gas pain I get up and walk around and that usually helps. I still haven't burped or farted any. If I take to big of a drink then that hurts too.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
