I wanna keep it short(try) I am an American who gotslaved in Jordan while I am living in Saudi Arabia! Yes u heard me right. Today is 2 months post op. Yesterday was the third time I had this pain I'm going through. .first week of post sleeve then 5th week and now 8th week it lasts for 4 to 5 days. It start out with constricted esophagus right at the incision between the breasts.. then my heart feels painful and heavish then I get a slight fever not too bad but enough where my whole body aches and I get cold. (I have 2 take pain pills) this only takes the chills and aches in my body away. NOT the chest or esophagus.

I have been 2 doc but long story short.. u have to be smart on what time u go to the er and have to look like ur dying! !so I got over the pain myself. . But now it's back I will go to the emergency at 6 am tomorrow bcuz that's the best time. But does anyone know what this could be. It goes away if I am on liquids for a few days and rest. It's literally one specific place in my esophagus (between breasts ) and once Water or food goes down and passes that specific place it feels forced and hurting where I close my eyes or clench my hands until it passes. Is my esophagus too narrow? And causing inflammation? I'm soooo scared cuz I don't fully trust these ppl although they have everything.. I may have to pay a lot of money to western doctor here to feel comfortable enough. Sorry it's long this is depressing. I never felt this sad ever. I got 2 kids. . I want this to go away! !!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
