Pain after i eat or drink...



Recommended Posts

For a little over a week I have had a pain in my stomach after I eat or drink. My surgeon felt my stomach last week and said he did not feel an ulcer. It seems to be getting worse and hurts more often Has anyone else experienced a pain like this?

I have not, but I think you should call your doc back he/she needs to find out what's causing the pain. Best Wishes

Are u taking any preventative meds such as Pepcid or Prilosec? My dr said the discomfort with cold Water was normal but he told me I should never have "pain" and to let him know as it was not normal. I'd try to contact him again...ulcers and strictures are always something we have to watch for.

Thank you for you responses. Yes I take a Prilosec every day. I will call him again tomorrow. It is getting worse since I saw him last. What is strictures?

Structure is a narrowing that can make it difficult for food or fluids to pass..mainly caused by scar tissue. Can be serious and painful but it's somewhat common for rny pts I believe. They can do a little procedure and balloon it back open if need be. Hope it isn't that. Good luck!!!!

It could be you are constipated and need to have a bowel movement , I didn't have one for 4 weeks after my surgery...I thought it was normal cause I was in liquid so what possible could come out, once I went the pain went away ...muralax in your drink every night helps you become regular

I had pain after I tried eating soft food for the first time,the pain was horrible going down my back. the dr. took me in and did a scope to find I had an ulcer . after three moore scopes, and medication the ulcer was gone, but now a month latter Im starting to get sick when I eat, so maybe another scope. you should have one because I dont think you can "feel" them. good luck

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
