I was just sleeved yesterday. Was it uncomfortable when you drank the next day? I am taking slow tiny sips, but it hurts going down a bit.

Also, what about your BM? When did you go after surgery?

Finally

With this nauseous feeling go away? I am taking Zofren.

Yeah it's painful and uncomfortable to drink for a few days... feels weird like in your chest.

I don't think I had a BM for maybe 5 days or a week... I'm not totally sure but they are very few!

Hi. I was sleeved August 22. I really never had any pain drinking - just took tiny sips and was fine. It could be that your throat is sore from the tube but if you are concerned ask your doctor.

First BM was like 4 days out

My nausea went away as soon as I stopped taking the pain medication.

In my experience zofran helped me not throw up when taken for another condition but I still felt mild nausea when I was on it.

Good luck to you and congratulations!

I hear you! I was sleeved 3 days ago, and am still getting used to how tiny my sips of liquid need to be. If I take very tiny sips, with a minute or so inbetween, I don't get that "golfball in my chest" feeling. Walking around seems to help move Fluid through, so I walk around a lot after taking sips. I used to be a big Water drinker, chugging down a pint without a breath, so this is quite an adjustment. Hoping drinking gets easier before long! Seems like a full-time job trying to get that 1.5 liters/day down!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
