Pain in center of chest after drinking.

[Sleevedmedic 59]

I am having pain that kind of feels like gas pains but happens when I drink the most. But it does happen by itself even if I don't have nothing to drink. I am only 2days post op. if any one could tell me if this is normal.

I'd say it's pretty normal. I had it after each sip for at least 4 days out. Got better each day. Gone now when drinking liquids.< /p>

Well thanks so much I just kind of worried cause it hurts pretty severe some time.

I'm 4days post op and today I've been having the same trouble after every time I take a drink of something, I was really concerned because it wasn't happening yesterday, I did have a hiatal hernia repair done and didn't know if it was related or not. The pain is right below my sternum and lasts a minute or so. I'm having a hard time getting my fluids in today because of it.

Yea I get my liquids in just pretty uncomfortable doing so but I just don't want to get dehydrated or anything so I just try to fight through the pain. Some times is worse than others.

Completely normal, It's like esophagus spasms.

My dr gave me a med that would help. But even now at three months out I have horrible chest pains if I drink to fast or too much. You will learn your body/sleeve but it might take awhile. Good Luck and congrats on your new journey!

Totally normal. It will get better every day, and will go away after a couple of days.

You might be drinking too fast, I know sometimes I do, then I get that pain. Maybe gas.. using GasX and walk as much as I can. Hope it gets better soon

[Sleevedmedic 59]

Thanks everyone that makes it a little easier knowing it will get better and that other people have had the same problem

I was sleeved 5/22 with a hernia repair and I have the same thing. Every drink I get what feels like a gas bubble under my sternum, but it usually goes away pretty quickly (usually after I burp). My surgeon explained it to me like our stomachs are a clogged drain and when liquids go down it can "glug" air back up. I hope it goes away soon!

[Sleevedmedic 59]

Well yea that what I was thinking some kind of air. I just hope it goes away son to. Thanks for your response.

Your new normal...I am 11 weeks out...still have pain...

I have the same pains in my chest. I was sleeved about 3 days ago.

Try drinking smaller sips or only swallowing part of the liquid in your mouth. Then when that passes, swallow the rest. I'm almost 3 weeks out and it most definitely does get better. Good luck!
