CindyLouWho2 5 Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) I am 5 1/2 months post-op and still have pain as soon as food hits my sleeve. The pain does go away but the initial food hitting the stomach hurts for a moment. I am always very aware of my new stomach and its sensations. Does this sound normal to other people around the same post-op time? Edited July 17, 2018 by CindyLouWho2 Misspelled word Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sosewsue61 3,185 Posted July 17, 2018 It could be a stricture, it could be irritation from acid reflux? If it continues for 2 or 3 more months I would ask to be scoped or barium swallow. Try warm liquid just before eating so see if it relaxes the stomach muscle some. 1 CindyLouWho2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually had very bad reflux before surgery but my surgeon fixed my hernia as well and I haven't had any other problems with reflux. I'm definitely going to talk with my doctor about it.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neversaynever 268 Posted July 17, 2018 I don't think thats a normal reaction to be honest. I have no pain when eating and I had surgery just over 2 months ago. 1 CindyLouWho2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
