I had my surgery on June 10 2014. Everything seems to be going well for the most part. Every couple hours I have shooting pain in my upper stomach and chest. It does not last long. It may hit me two or 3 times and the vanish for hours. Is this reason for concern? The whole leak thing terrifies me.

Thanks

I was sleeved on 6-11-14. I get pain in my upper stomach that lasts only a few seconds. Mainly after I sleep for the night or nap. But i thought it may be gas. I walk every 2 to 4 hours this seems to relieve all types of gas. upper and lower Call your Doctor to be sure!

Gas, plus stitches on the inside.... all normal pains. If you feel any hardness, any debilitating pain accompanied by fever or what have you, please see a doctor and as always consult your surgeon's office with anything serious!

Thx guys

I've been taking my temp often. It bounces between 97-99.

This morning I stepped up my walking to almost one mile. It feels good getting out. My wife got on to me about it being to much. I hope I did not over do it

I was sleeved on 6-9-14 and I also wake up with this weird pain in my stomach and my chest that feels like gas but it only lasts for a several seconds and then it goes away. I'm scared of a leak too. I've had to take care of patients that have had that complication and it's just horrible. As long as we stick to the diet we will be fine.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
