Post surgery

[lws96 1]

Hi guys,

I had the sleeve yesterday and was discharged today. No matter what it is, when I swallow I get pain in my chest. This is true if I drink Water or the liquid pain medicine so it takes me forever to down 15 ml of medicine. I haven't felt hungry but I am worried that this pain is what I will feel the rest of my life.

You only one day post op. It will get better. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

It might even be from the tube being down your throat. Make sure you are doing breathing exercises. And go slow.

My throat hurt and swallowing was difficult for about 4 days after surgery and it has gotten better each day since then. Take it slow and keep working and to meet your fluid goals and work toward your Protein goals. Hang in there!

I experienced this as well after my surgery. Keep doing your breathing exercises and walk walk walk! It helps the pain go away. Sometimes it is a gas bubble and moving helps relieve it. It will get better!

I am getting my staples out today. The skin has been itching like crazy with the healing and as a natural picker at anything abnormal with my skin it has been a challenge not to rip the staples out myself. Funny that everyone I have talked to says they don't remember staples.
