Chest pain after sleeve

[MaMaMaMaD 1]

Hi everyone! I’m a newbie!

I was sleeved a week ago and am really struggling. The pain is gone but today I woke up with a very upset stomach and the feeling of something being stuck in my esophagus. Every time I try to get down a sip of Fluid i get chest pain like I’m full. Anyone else experience this? Almost feels like my sleeve is too small. Could it be acid reflux? Help please! Thanks!

Have you contacted your surgeon? You might have a stricture.

It’s probably acid reflux , are you on lansaprozole?

This is exactly what I felt. I am now out 11 days and can drink a 2 swigs of Water now at a time & go for more, with out pain. I'm very happy that the restriction with water is gone. I think it will pass, but maybe check with your Dr. Best wishes.

How are you doing Mama? I hope you are feeling better!

Hi! Thanks for checking on me! 😀 Still feels hard to swallow. Maybe I just need more time. I’ll call my Dr next week if there’s no improvement.

That’s normal . Your stomach goes under your right Breast at an angle . I had trouble swallowing Water at the beginning

That’s exactly where I feel the pain under my breast at an angle. Thanks so much for responding!

It gets easier, but truthfully i am 10 weeks out and if i eat anything to dense( ie i still cannot eat chicken salad!) its like your having major chest pains. And then whoopsie, back up it comes. Stick to the purées and yogurts as long as you need, good luck!
