I have this weird feeling in my chest/tummy kinda like a swallowed a golf ball it even feels like it rolls down then a couple seconds later its gone..its really making it hard to get all my liquid in and I guess I'm just second guessing my decision. Hope it gets better

Thank you I'm really trying but it sucks having a little one at home and he constantly wants me to hold him and I'm still sore *sigh* I'm just venting now

Hi there. I am also 5 days post op, i got that same feeling last night. What i did is i just sat up for 10 mins and it went away. I think its the acid in our esophagus. I was prescribed zantac and that helps. Keep your head up. Think and believe that it will get better..

I felt horrible the first night home from the hospital. I was crying and regret the whole thing. Then i started reading all the paper work i got from my surgeon as well as reading people post on here then i felt better. I just told myself "im gona get skinny" over and over again.. from then ive been feeling good. Positive attitude helps in healing! we can do this..

Sorry you are feeling bad. I had my sleeve a little over a month ago and I can remember 2 times thinking "what have I done!!!" Those first few weeks are the hardest (as far as I have been through) Day by day it will get better.

I know it is difficult especially with your little one but just look at how much more you will be able to do with him very soon and how much longer you will be around to watch him grow because of your health improving. Just since my surgery, I have been taken off both of my blood pressure meds, my cholesterol med and my insulin resistance (pre-diabetes) med.

Just hold on, dont expect too much from yourself and take deep slow breaths and just keep telling yourself that you can do this!!! And these instances will only be for a short time!

Feel better!

The first few weeks are very tough. We are healing from having most of out stomach removed. Sometimes things are painful.

I had surgery on 8/02 and there have been times when I did not think I would ever get better but I can tell you that things do get better each day. There is always something that comes up that we have not experienced before but it usually passes very quickly. For the past 3 days after eating, I get really bad heartburn, have never had this yet. I hope it passes quickly!

Hang in there, your belly will hurt for a couple of weeks and then it will only hurt when you move a certain way. You may not be able to pick up your little guy and carry him for a while but he can sit with you and let you love him. Soon you will feel much better !

I remember kind of feeling that way at first. But now that the weight is really coming off, and I can wear cute clothes, and my kids are saying mommy is getting skinnier, it is a distant memory. Persevere through it. It will get better.

FYI. If you want that to go away switch from Zantac to a PPI. Prilosec, nexium, etc
