laceemouse 631 Posted December 18, 2016 Well it will take several weeks for the staple line in your stomach to heal so it is probably just normal. Some people do better with cold drinks, others with room temperature or warm drinks. Just be sure to drink very slowly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AC3 51 Posted December 19, 2016 Same happens to me. I thought it was just gas coming up or I'm drinking too fast. Which usually I'm not. Or I ate too much and I'm barely eating/drinking. Im 6 days post Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I was in the hospital. They told me the pain in my chest was the gas coming up. Today, a week later I'm finally passing gas (tmi) and I pooped after almost two weeks. It was hard but thank goodness! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janlou 19 Posted December 20, 2016 I too was having the pain in my stomach when I would drink. I asked the dr. And he said I was either drinking too much or too fast. So I have slowed down considerably, and it seems to be better. I am 5 days out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
