2weeks post op

I'm having some bad pain when eating and/or drinking. It was gas at first, but now it seems different. Has this happen to anyone else?

It hasn't happened to me, but I've seen other descriptions on the main message board sounding like you. I'd check with your surgeon. You might be working on an ulcer. Sue O.

Hello there...just wondering how you are doing now? Are you taking time to chew chew chew? small bites and eating very slowly? I have the same problems if I dont...even at a year out..... Lora laprny 5-26-04 -85lbs Beyond Goal!

Thanks! I'm not really eating. My doctor is more concerned w/my fluid intake. When I manage to eat, I chew really well. I'm scheduled to meet with my surgeon on Tuesday, May 17th. Thanks

Well, keep up the great work... I hope that your surgeon gets to the bottem of things quick!

I too had terrible pain from eating. Believe it or not, I was started on Prevocid OTC and the pain was so much better. Took about a week though. I dont know if I actually had heartburn, but it sure made my life easier. I still chew Tums on a reguar basis, the calcium is good for me and its a "just in case" too.
