I am 5 days post op and I am having a hard time with drinking Water. Everytime I sip I get a hard ball feeling in my chest. I know this will past just wondering about others experience who are only a few days out.

Are you taking to big of a sip? When I do, I can sure feel it.

Take smaller sips! I know it's a "pain", excuse the pun but, you have to. It will get better day by day!!!

I get that same feeling when I take too big a sip of Water at one time. Like the others said, try taking even smaller sips and see if that helps. It will get better!

      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.
