Spasms after VSG

Yes. Hot/warm is better but still spasm with any temp. Not as harsh when warm

Room temp water and smaller sips helped me. The instrument they stick down your throat into your stomach can irritate to sphincter muscle. This will be better in a week or two. After that you will get a different but equally uncomfortable feeling when you eat to much, to fast or don't chew enough.

People who are used to eating/drinking fast TEND to swallow more air. I had this problem for a few weeks and finally got the hang of it.

Try sitting back and straightening your esophagus to help the air come up.

ditto! I became very aware of how much air I was swallowing.

I was given hyocyamine which helps with spasms. I used it the first few days but it's worth asking your doctor about.

I was sleeved on 09/26/2016 and I know about those spasms..I called my surgeon immediately and was told that it was common for some, and it is..Mine lasted for about 4 weeks, they are a memory now..this too shall pass!

Thank you
