My sleeve feels weird!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm 3 1/2 months out & I've been having a weird feeling in my stomach. It's tender and almost like an ache. It's hard to explain it & I'm getting a little freaked out. I can't get ahold of my surgeon & I'm not too sure on what to do?

Anyone else have issues this far out & have experienced the same? I am also still very bloated, not too sure what's going on there either!

Thank you,

Acid? Indigestion I'm sure you're eating different foods now. that can be the culprit new tummies sometimes don't do as well when you're reintroducing foods. Stick to one at a time.. I couldn't eat eggs initially

I had this reaction initially with milk. Also acid can be a tricky thing and can act different for everyone. Are you takin an antacid?

Thanks ladies!

Chittick, I take 2 40mg of Prilosec a day. It doesn't feel like acid but, very well could be.

Soocal, I still have that swallowing thing too. It's like my swallowing isn't smooth!? Dr. said, it's most likely nothing...SIGH.

Wags, it's below my breast bone & down a little. Not really a burning feeling just tender & a little sore.

The hard swallowing will get better I always felt like in had to swallow hard to get even saliva down.

Do you have your gallbladder? The pain doesn't sound typical for that, but it does radiate to that spot.

It's really obvious when I forget to take my 2nd dose of Prilosec! Did you ever feel like it was rough or chunky? Sorry, gross!

Thank you so much Wags! I've been googling it all night & I'm wondering if I'm just constipated!?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
