So I have kind of a silly question. I was sleeved on 12/28 and have been feeling pretty good. I went home the day after surgery. The only complication was an undiagnosed hiatal hernia that was repaired during my sleeve operation. I have been on clears since the day after with the exception of an Isopure zero carb shake once a day. I am getting between 48 -64 oz. per day.

So beginning yesterday I noticed an increased in noises and aches in the upper abdomen. Not pain that I would take pain med for just uncomfortable, kinda a like I am hungry.

I am so frustrated right now and trying to convince myself that it is just part of the process and it won't be like I was pre-sleeve hungry all the time.

If anyone else has experienced this or can speak to whether this is a transition thing please do. I am at a loss tonight.

Gas X and Prilosec/Zegerid will do wonders. Post-surgery I discovered that gas, acid,and spasms all feel a LOT like extreme hunger >.<

Thank you both for your replies. I will try some gas x strips. I have been taking Prilosec since surgery. Knowing that this has happened to someone else in comforting.

      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.
