Ok..i had the surgery on Monday.. Was drinking fine at the hospital.. But ever since yesterday I get chest pressure that really really hurts.. I also cannot keep much down. Seemed as though the liquids I am drinking sits on my chest.. Then comes that feeling of pressure. Then a couple of minutes later Ithrow up what I just drank. Has anyone expected this.? Are the chest.

,pain due to gas. I am taking nexium and gas x strips. Are all these symptoms normal.? Btw I had the band to sleeve revision.

Some people's stomach is going to be a little more swollen than others post surgery and the full extent of the swelling may not occur for a few days. The first 5 days or so, I used the syringe I was using for the pain meds for liquids as well. I was only able to drink about an ounce every few minutes. I also had a hiatal hernia repair which, I believe, added to my issues.

Did you have a hiatal hernia repair by chance?

I am not a doctor nor do I play one on the internet. Do not hesitate to contact your medical team. But from my experience, this is not uncommon. For me, Water was unbearable. Gatorade at room temperature was the only thing I could handle. Try drinking different things at different temperatures.

One of my good friends had a scratch on her uvula from the anesthesia/tubes and she threw up a lot at first. Definitely check in with your doctor though.

I had the revision from band to sleeve on 11/27 and felt like you for about 3 days. I had really bad swelling. Has your doctor ordered an upper GI to see if there is swelling? If that's the issue, you have to let the swelling subside.... I needed an IV to keep from becoming dehydrated but then the swelling went away,

I was sleeved 10/30 and I threw up & spit like a pregnant woman for the first few days home. It will get better. I also had a few vomiting spells in the last few weeks but once I vomit I feel better. I haven't thrown up now in about 10 days and I'm good. The smell of Protein usually triggers my nausea..it's awful for me, but I'm still trying to get it down and taking all of my Vitamins.

I've lost 27lbs to date and I'm very happy with that. I had about a 2 week stall where I lost nothing but now I'm losing again. I pray you feel better. I promise it gets better.

Carlotta, I had my surgery Monday as well. I have had minimal nausea and have been able to keep everything down I've tried. Warm fluids are less painful, you might try that, but honestly if you aren't keeping ANYTHING down at this point, you should see your surgeon. Good luck hun
