It Hurts When I Drink

I had RNY one week ago today and I started having problems with pain when I pulled my drain in my sleep. I went to the ER this morning and my doc  got my labs over the phone and said everything looked fine. Well recently with in the last few hours every time I drink something  I get a stabbing pain in my abdomen. I called my doc but they said he was in surgery has anyone else been through this?

i would say try drinking something warm, or luke warm. sometimes your new pouch can be sensitive to cold drinks.. stabbing like OMG PAin? go to the hospital.. it could be serious, i dont know.. and im not a medical doctor to tell you it's nothing.. but if its just uncomfortable pain, just imagine you are a newborn drinking milk for the first time, you have a new stomach now.. take it easy!! hope you feel better soon!

Thanks I got a call back and they said that its not uncommon because at one week out inflammation can be at its highest. I was told to try different temps also and some gas x. Sorry if I sounded grumpy I don't deal with pain well :(

girl you have the right to be grumpy!!! :) you just had major surgery and are in pain!! when i said "Take it easy!!" i meant kick those feet up and sip on some luke warm water ! LOL hope you feel better really SOON!

this from the chick who could run a marathon out of recovery.  i was there, i remember!!   you and patti KILLED me.  how are you chica?
