Pain with every swallow



Recommended Posts

I had sleeve Surgery 8/16 and am 5 days out. I have pain under my left breast every time I sip on something,I had a hernia repair and feel like the pain is from that and not my sleeve. I am only up to about 10 oz a day of Fluid. I have no nausea or other pain but I am starting to get weak. Has anyone else had this problem??

I also had a hernia repair and only felt a bit of pressure, ot pain. Try Taki g smaller sip very slowly. And please sip all day so you don't get dehydrated. Might be a good idea to call your doc too.

You're going to end up hospitalized on only 10oz of Fluid per day. You need to contact your surgeon's service and have them tell you what to do. Are you only taking in 10 oz because of the pain? I had a cramp-like pain every time I drank Water (or anything, for that matter) for probably 10 days, but it wasn't bad enough to keep me from drinking. I didn't have a hernia repair, it was just my stomach announcing it's displeasure :) Please consider contacting your surgeon or her/his on-call team today.

You won't be feeling like drinking or eating. You can survive without food but you cannot survive without Water. You have got to be regimented.

Get a drink and watch your clock every thirty minutes through out the day sip on it slowly.

Do not gulp or rush and take tiny sips. The more you do it the better your stomach will heal and you will be hydrated.

Try different temperatures warm and ice cold, tepid can sometimes cause nausea.

You should be aiming for 2 litres- 1.750 quarts .

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
