melsabells 64 Posted March 19, 2018 Hi everyone, I had my sleeve on the 14th. Overall it’s gone great.One thing I’ve noticed is a bit of pain after swallowing liquid(all I am on atm). Then a kind of gurgling noise in my tummy after the paid subsidies. It is not extreme pain but definitely there.I am going very slow with liquids. Any tips are appreciated!

aNYCdb 310 Posted March 19, 2018 When you say "pain swallowing" are you talking about muscle pain from the process of swallowing, incision pain, pressure and discomfort in the stomach? No way to know if the gurgling is related, but that is pretty common right after surgery because the space they are passing though is so small and becomes filled with liquid, especially right after surgery. Imagine pouring Water down a pipe into a balloon if the pipe isn't full air can freely travel back up, if the pipe is full of water air travels up the stream as bubbles.

Kind of like a cramp that subsides after 3-4 seconds.I see the doctor Wednesday for the week after check up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, but of course see what your doctor says about it. 1 melsabells reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
