kauaigirl808 39 Posted December 1, 2012 I'm 4 days post op from vsg and every time I drink something it hurts going down is that normal or I need to call my surgeon I have the same issue... i talked to my doc and he said its normal when drinking cold liquid or Water but that its not my pouch its my small intestine its not used to cold temperatures cause my old stomach warmed up all the liquids before it moved to the small intestine... he said it will eventually go away when it gets used to it...

LA GP 117 Posted December 2, 2012 I had the same issue drinking and eating. Today I tried an experiment. Drinking I only took sips about every 30 seconds and eating I only took a bite about every 45 seconds. MUCH BETTER and less food to get full! I was so used to just pulling down I have to remind myself to slow down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
