For any of you guys did it hurt to drink Water a day after surgery? I just got my sleeve done yesterday and feel like it hurts when I drink!m? Is this normal! Plus I sleep on my stomach and side and was wondering you for sleep if you only were on your back!

Thanks!

Try different temperatures for the Water. I found that sometimes cold didn't hurt. Sometimes room temp, sometimes warm. Also, small sips. If I sipped to big, it hurt. Also, I found that adding flavor helped. Adding Crystal Light or Mio made a difference for me.

I sleep on back, stomach and side. It wasn't really an issue. But, sip slowly. Don't try to guzzle water. Use a shot glass and sip a shot at a time.

Yes! Water hurt me for a long time! Crystal Light ice tea with lemon flavor goes down smooth for me. I'm three years past surgery & still enjoy it! Good luck & welcome to the other side!

I got mine yesterday, too. I got nauseous after drinking some Gatorade. I think I drank too much. Try smaller sips, maybe?

I had my surgery 2 days ago. Water does hurt going down for me too. Oddly flavored Vitamin Water isn’t so bad. Hoping it gets better day by day.

Oh good, I felt like I was the only one. Do you also have to wait a second to feel a gurgle to know it’s going down right?

Thats natural.. I had the same feeling for at least 3 weeks, but it gets better, nothing to worry about.. you shouldn’t sleep on your stomach.. sleep on your back.. best of luck and you will be like nothing happened shortly.

      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?
