No problem drinking - 4 days post op

[Dianeg 18]

Hello, I am 4 days post op and am recovering well. I am having no problem getting liquids down and can drink and entire bottle Water in about 45 minutes. I do have some tightness and indigestion but nothing too severe. So my biggest fear is my sleeve is too big? Maybe the doctor didn't do it right? Am I being nervous and overly paranoid?

I am three days post op and when I swallow as it hits the stomach area stabbing pain. I did have a hiatal hernia repared .Just wondering if anyone else had this

I didn't think about the hernia being repaired. Today is the first day I drank more a full 16 oz in a day. I was sleeved on 2/15 and every drink was like I was drinking mouthfuls of air and I just instantly had gas in my esophagus. Today I'm drinking crystal light lemonade and I'm 4 days post op, so it's definitely a new day. I'm not at 64 oz yet, but I can slowly but surely see it in the future. Keep up the good work guys!!!
I'm sure your sleeve is fine, every one is just different

You may be being paranoid, but you have the right to ask questions. When is your f/u appt? Just be frank with your Dr then

Same here sleeved 2/8 i can down things so quickly without any discomfort. I can down a bottled Water in like a .5 hr, even with soups/soft food. I feel like im getting more down than i should but hey im still taking in way less than before surgery

I was sleeved on 2/17 with hiatal hernia repair as well. I was told I could only sip one ounce every 15 minutes. If I sip too quickly, I get a tightening in my chest for a couple seconds and then it passes. Surgeon discharged me yesterday and let me know I can do about 2 ounces of liquid at a time and that for some reason Water is harder to go down opposed to flavored sugar free water. Today only got about 30oz down.

What was the verdict from y'alls 23rd follow up appt?

I am glad I am not the only one too. I was sleeved 2/20, follow up 3/3. I can drink forever with no problem, first mushy solids were so easy. If I didn't see the holes, I wouldn't know that I had surgery! Will definitely address with the doc
