visionmom77 12 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) @@ecoreen94 I'm sorry you've been sick. Have you been nausea? Vomiting? Pain in chest/stomach....after eating? I was sleeved three weeks ago& I still feel tightness in my chest/stomach after I eat. My doctor told me to eat slower & gave me a stomach muscle relaxer as well. Seems like it takes me forever to finish eating certain foods. Don't regret everyone's body is different & it could just take time for your body to adjust to your new size stomach.

Dub 9,922 Posted January 8, 2017 I wish I could go back in time, too. I would like to do so so I could have had surgery much sooner in life. Everything gets much better after the first couple of months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything gets much better after the first couple of months. My sentiments exactly!!!!! I'm 3 weeks post op still adjusting but loving the challenge. VERY GASSY almost to the point of regurgitation when I eat too fast/much (still figuring out the amounts) but it's all worth it!!
