I had my surgery 10-21 and they told me during surgery you have a breathing tube placed down your throat to breath when you are knocked out. Your throat could hurt for a while. They rant that gentle with you when you are put to sleep!

Yes being intubated during surgery can cause a sore throat. Mine lasted about four days with my hernia surgery.

It's not like a sore throat, it's lower like its my stomach.

Whenever I had something to drink that early out, I had horrific pain when I swallowed even just a teeny tiny trickle...........my stomach was spasming.........I was told to warm up my liquids.......and it made a difference......the spasms would happen even with room tempearture liquids.< /span>

I warmed up everything, even my crystal light...ask your doctor's office about the pain you're expereincing

be patient with your body.......your tummy is swollen and pissed off as hell :D

That being said, a week makes a huge difference.....Wishing you the best and an easy recovery.....welcome to the losers' bench!

I got sleeved on the 14th Ann's that was what was happening to me every time I swallowed I could deal it got down then it should hurt as it entered the new pouch.the only think I could think of its that they bruised that entrance muscle with the tube they use to gauge your new pouch. It went away in about a week. I hasty powered threw it in order ttyl get all my liquids down. Not sure weather that was the weight or wrong thing to do.

My dr gave me a steroid shotgun help bring the swelling down. I wasn't able to keep Water down due to the swelling.

Today feeling much better. I've been walking all over and passed my leak test! I've got diluted apple juice now!

        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.

      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
