Hi all, I had my procedure yesterday and went home today. I am very uncomfortable, burning in stomach as Fluid passes. I can feel the burning into my back. Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks

I don't know if it's the same thing, but when I had galbladder surgery, I had this incredible pain in my back. I found out it was from the gas used to inflate my stomach during surgery. It was at about the lower portion of my shoulder blade. Of course talk to your doctor, but what helped me with that pain was a heating pad on the area. Hope you feel better soon!

Hi. I was sleeved 5/1 also. I haven't felt that burning sensation except on my incisions. As other poster said, probably gas. Call your surgeon's office and ask!

I was sleeved yesterday...most of my gas pains seem to be sitting right below my rib cage on the front on me. The big incision hurts the most out of anything. Mainly when I get up and down. I felt VERY nauseous for about 24 hrs... doctors changed my meds this morning to try something else and I feel 100% better. My back is ok though... only uncomfortable because im laying down for so long. Sorry cant be much help there. Good luck on your recovery!

Had my surgery May 1st as well. When I eat something like Jello or yogurt I can feel when it hits my stomach. Same with my meds I have to swallow. I did feel a little pain in my back on day 2 (don't remember most of day 1. Ended up in ICU and have only bits and pieces of memory until after 5pm). Since I've been home the main pain I experience is from my incisions. Especially the largest one. The heating pad has been a life saver. It's like it calms my angry muscles so I can sleep a little longer. And helps the has pains. I haven't had many yet but I'm sure they're coming.
My only other problem is Constipation. No BM since Saturday so I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable in that sense.
Hope that pain improves and if it concerns you, just call your surgeon and ask. Mine told me that if I feel any pains that I don't think are normal for this to call them right away.

Thanks everyone that replied...I called and spoke with the nurse and she said it was common and would subside in a few days. It feels weird, I can feel the Fluid going down and burns once it gets to bottom of stomach/intestines! I hope you all
Recover quickly!!





It is definitely a weird feeling. I will be 1 week out tomorrow and now only get a subtle feeling like that when I take my meds.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
