Hi I'm new here. I was sleeved 3/25 so I'm 3 days post op. Just wondering if others had stomach pain or a contracting feeling after drinking fluids. started on full liquids today, more pain. Hoping this is normal.

I had my surgery on 3/24 and I don't have much problem with stomach pain...unless ur talking about the soreness from the incisions and yes, I still have that and it is awful. I am miserable trying to get up and down out a chair, in and out of bed, or when I cough. I will be so glad when that part is over! As far as the pain after drinking fluids, I definitely have that which is frustrating and makes it difficult to get in all of my liquids. It may sound strange, but today I actually figured out a way to drink without as much pain. I have to lean my head back and drink when I take my meds and realized that if I lean my head back in the same way when sipping on fluids, it really seems to help. It probably looks kinda strange but it's better than that pain!

      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.
