I had my sleeve yesterday too. I am having awful pain when I swallow. Is this gas? I have been nauseated too. Any tips? Trying to keep the Water down.

Move. Keep moving. A blood clot is serious and can be fatal. The gas will work itself out and the shoulder/chest pain should go away. Sip,sip,sip, Water.< br>Once the drain is pulled you should feel a little better too.

Me too, I was sleeved the 14th and have problems swallowing Water. Also how long will it take for these incisions to not hurt so bad.

I was sleeved 11/13, discharged 11/14 and i couldn't keep anything down, broth, Water, Protein or medication. Im on day 4, gas has subsided with chewable gas x. Sip the water, never gulp and if you have access to a chik fi la or Sonics, get a bag of ice chips! It will help with water intake and for dry mouth also biotene.

I am doing better sipping warm broth and Water with crystal light to get my 5 ounces an hour. Walking 10 minutes every 2 hours since 6am and Gas X helped. Some liquid Motrin also helped

That is what my NUT said too. She said to measure out 1 ounce of ice chips (they use plastic cups that are 1 ounce each) and just one at a time let them dissolve on your tongue.


Have a great day!

Do the Forest Gump walking version, I walked and I walked and I walked[emoji4].
The more you move the better . I was sleeved on 11/11.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
