I had the bypass surgery done June 28th. About a week after I started having issues with drinking fluids. Whenever I drink and it hits my stomach I'm in severe pain. No matter the amount or temperature it hurts so bad. I have gone to my doctors office 3 times already to get iv fluids because I have been so dehydrated. The second trip I went straight to the er from the doctors office. Anyone else have this happen to them and what did your doctor say? My doctor scheduled me for an endoscopy for this Friday. I was supposed to have been back to work 2 weeks ago and just haven't been able to stay because of the pain.

I'm 4 days post and when ever I drink Water it makes my stomach hurt and I feel like it's a big rock that's stuck like it's just sitting on my chest it's so uncomfortable.

My doctor just told me to walk walk walk, which does help a tiny bit but I try to lay back but that feeling last for hours before it goes away

I have a really good doctor hopefully he can figure out what's wrong. He told me to try propel Water and that has gone down easier not as much pain as regular water. He said he had a patient just like me about a year ago and she drank propel and was able to get her fluids in. Try that and let me know how it helps u

Yes, it's uncomfortable, but it does ease up. My problem was constant vomiting for 3 months. Dr. finally did Endo & loosened the pouch a bit and have had no problems since.

This happened to me initially. I hate to say this, but you really have to push through. Assuming nothing's actually wrong with you, it will go away.

Keep trying different temps and different flavors. You've got this!

Try Powerade Zero too. I also developed trouble getting plain Water to stay down. I read an article by a surgeon who said to blow all air out through your nose before swallowing anything to limit the amount of air going down. It has been working for me although I still struggle to get all my water in. Hope you get some relief.

      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.

      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!
