4 Weeks out with sleeve pain



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Hoping to get some advice on this pain I'm feeling.

I was sleeved on 9/29 and last night I woke up with a stabbing pain in my sleeve. I get one every 30-40 seconds, it lasts about 3-5 seconds a piece. It happens whether I've eaten, whether I'm hungry, whether I'm moving or relaxing. I haven't eaten anything that differs from my surgeons "suggested menu" at this point. I ate a scrambled egg white this morning and then a couple bites of grilled chicken for lunch. I've been sipping on Protein shakes all day long. I don't know if this is something that's normal, happens to everyone or if this could possibly be a late perforation. I also feel nauseous but I've been consistently nauseous since my surgery so I'm not sure if that's any indication of anything or not. Please help. Any advice would be great.

TIA.

Can you contact your team and ask their advice. It would put your mind at rest.

Hope you feel better soon :)

I'm not sure with it being Sunday. I guess I could give it a go.

Thank you!

Someone should be on call... that doesn't sound very normal ...I just got sleeved Monday and not having that kind of pain... every one is different of course but sounds like your medical team needs to hear about that just in case

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
