Pain When Food Hits Stomach



Recommended Posts

I'm doing much better than I was but still have this pain/uncomfortable feeling when food hits my stomach. Once it is past that entry it is fine. Is this normal and will it get better?

I'm not sure a what point you are having this problem...are you still on pureed foods? You may want to speak with your doctor to make sure everything is ok...

I would double-check with the doctor. Small bites and chewing thoroughly? Even on soft foods, those are the two things that cause pain and discomfort with me.

I had a hiatal hernia repair that really contributed to my discomfort. Did you have one? Also, I had to get an eat slower app on my Iphone to help eat slower. I recently learned there will be foods I can't tolerate since sleeved. That is chicken for me! A few seconds after it passes through , it get really angry and goes to war, making it super uncomfortable and painful at times. I would keep a diary of foods and write notes on how you feel with each food. I had to restart liquids for a few days and reintroduce some foods. If your really having a hard time with eating, call your doctor. S/he may offer some solutions or run tests.

Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
