Me too girl!

I have the same unbearable pain. My doctor said it was a spasm in the esophagus. He told me to only micro sip room temperature liquids. No hot and no cold. I have been doing that and it is much better. Ended up staying an extra night in the hospital because I couldn't get in enough fluids. Hope to go home tomorrow.

Leftover gas from the surgery and air when you drink is getting in there. I had it and the deep breaths worked for me too, but only at that moment. I also found that adding a flavoring like Crystal Light made Water go down easier and with little or no pain. I don't know why that works but it does. I am just now able to drink enough plain water without so much discomfort and I am 26 days out.

I was having the same problem and it wasn't gas. Sometimes the muscles around the largest incision spasm... dI'd your surgeon give you a muscle relaxer? I complained of the same thing at my 10 day post op and they told me to resume the muscle relaxer that I had quit taken. That helped a lot and almost immediately.

No muscle relaxers prescribed here. Just nausea meds and hydro
