Hey guys!! Just had my sleeve surgery on Monday the 18th and I am really excited. I have had no nausea and hardly any pain. However, sometimes I feel like when I swallow anything, it is just laying in the middle of my chest. ugh If I could just burp really good I think I'd feel better. Anyone else with me on this?

My husband teases me that I am now a burper. I never was like that before. I have the same feeling that stuff takes a little rest stop just behind my breastbone, then goes on down. I do seem to be swallowing a whole lot more air than I used too. I am 17 days out so I don't know if this will improve with time.

Very very normal. Take very small bites, chew it really well and watch out how much you eat.

Normally when it feels like the foot is to my throat, I quit eating, even if I only had a few bites. There have been times I ate very little and needed to walk around for a while. Usually if I eat too fast or don't chew enough it's worse. Certain foods, like roast that had gravy on it made it much worse. Though the chest pain is there, resist drinking Water for at least 1/2 hour afterwards, because to me it just makes it worse.

I was told if you chew Papaya enzyme it helps

Hi, I had my sleeve done on the 21st feb and find I get pain when the liquid hits my stomach. It's only for about 5 seconds and then disapates. Do you get this pain as well?

I have pain right below my breastbone. Every swallow, no matter how small. I feel like I have to burp but it is painful. I called the Dr last week and he told me to try sippy cups, this did nothing. I'm getting frustrated. Anyone else have something like this?
