Had surgery on Friday (11/18)

I was sleeved on Friday and able to come home the same day. I've spent most of my time home sleeping, walking and slowly sipping Water or tea.

Did anyone else experience a lot of pressure (upper chest) when drinking? I am trying to make sure that I am not taking in too much air with my sips, but it seems like no matter how careful I am, I'm feeling pressure and discomfort.

I was also sleeved Friday the 18th and I'm have the same problem. The surgeon did say I can't over do it with Water.

Just take it slow, and try different temperatures of Water.

It might also be the gas from your stomach they pumped in. I hear it can be all over your upper chest and you can feel it in your shoulder, or near your heart like a heart attack. But the nurse and she is gastric sleeve patient said to just keep walking and do some stretching to break it up.

Yes I remember feeling that way as well. Just drink slowly and walk a lot. It will pass. Good luck!

I can't believe they sent you home the same day.

I was sleeved on 11/21. I get that pressure too, so now I drink even slower. I'm starving btw! My port hurts even though I came home yesterday.Is that normal?

Also I was told the pressure you feel is because everything is swollen and inflammed

I was sleeved on the 18th as well..I only have pressure when I think I'm drinking or eating too fast or too much..I also get a sensation like my food is dropping into my stomach..wondering it all that is normal? Other than that..I'm feeling pretty good

I just got sleeved 11/23 and I'm experiencing the same. My dr said it's all gas. Drink and walk afterwards. And drink slow and steady. Sip don't gulp. Hope it helps.
