Advice needed, unable to eat

[Yaymissmay 13]

I am 90 days post op, gastric sleeve. I have finally been able to get my meds stable and back to baseline. My life now and prior to surgery has always been high stress. I understand that I had surgery to restrict my eating. My concern is for having pain when eating. After I swallow it physically hurts until it goes down. This triggers a natural response to avoid pain which in turn means I'm afraid to eat. I am on gerd meds and no difference in symptoms. My question is whether this is common? Any advice is much appreciated.

I don't think that is common. I would be insistent with your bariatric team about follow up to determine what might be going on. Good luck!

I agree- while I am still super grossed out by food and don't want any- it doesn't hurt when I eat. Call dr!

At 90 days out it should not hurt to eat. What does your surgeon say?

I'd see about getting checked for a stricture? Even 2 months out on a bad day Soups and such still go down ok.
