Hi.

That knife pain, tell me, is your tongue White in color and looks like a yeasty paste? if so, you have Thrush.

I had this so bad that when I swallowed, It felt like knives going down my throat and into my stomach.

I was on two different types of antibiotics to clear this. I was also out of work for 2 weeks due to this pain.

Hope this helps.

That's doesn't sound normal. Yes you should call your surgeon. Also if you don't already have one ask for a prescription for a PPI.

I was told for the first few days to avoid bevs that were too hot, or too cold, as they can cause cramping.

I am 1 week and 1 day post op and I too have a sharp, the your breath away pain. It only lasts for a few seconds but happens often. I just assumed it was spasms from having hiatal hernia repair.

My pain was terrible. Subsided greatly at two weeks. Try to rest and hang in there.

      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.
