What the heck is this feeling? ?



Recommended Posts

Hi my fellow sleevers!! I am 5 weeks post op and I woke up with an excruciating pain th3 other but it we t away after 50 deathly groans on my bed sweating. That's not even 2 hat I wanna ask u about. . After that crazy unpredictable episode I have been having this pain which is the same pain I had for at 7 days after surgery.

Ok the best way to describe it is someone squeezes the inside of my stomach while poking them with needles and as that's happening the pain shoots all the way up to my throat. It last for 5 Seconds then subsides only to come back after 1 minute. It seems to get less by lying down but I can feel it's evil sneaky self trying to creep back up but can't. Lol please take your time to tell me what it could be. My sleeved friend said I know 2 what this is I took this meds and it goes away. English isn't her first language so I'm not sure ...I need u guys! Yes it's new for now but was there first week of surgery. . I can't talk until it passes.

Did you call your surgeon? If you haven't, please do so immediately. There is no reason for you to be in that kind of pain, and it could be something your surgeon needs to tend to right away.

Ok so that extreme pain went away after I wrote this post but now I have gas pains in chest and under my breast area...I wasn't eating before this happened. I was drinking only. I went to the ER..somehow in this country the ER is packed. Doc just said this is typical to have gas pains. I said I haven't had gas pains since day 6 and now it's back?? It hurts to drink like the first 2 weeks too. I'm 5 weeks post op. Surgeon said I can eat solids at 5 weeks but I decided to wait till 6 weeks and all of a sudden this happens. Can it be from not goin to the bathroom this week? Could it be bcuz I used to get gassy and bloated easily pre surgery?

They also said I was dehydrated and gave me iv as well as something to help with my sudden nausea.I came ho.e at 1 am only to throw him phlegm looking stuff basically nothing. And hurts to drink again and I also have a fever cuz my daughter had a bad cold and now I got it. I'm just miserable. . Just as I thought things were getting better. .

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
