new to the group

hi my name is chris and i am 1 week post op.  i had a gastric sleeve gasterectomy done in columbus, oh last wednesday.  so far i'm feeling pretty good just a lil sore..i;m just curious about a few things,  whenever i drink anything whether it be cold or warm i seem to get like a cramp or air bubble right under my left breast like at my ribcage..i'm thinkging it's b/c i'm either drinking too faast or too much but any help or answers any one can give i would truely appreciate and i hope everyone has a great day

Chris, Welcome to the bariatric buddy group and to the losing side of surgery.  Could be your new stomach complaining about something.  Take frequent small sips, try different temperature fluids.  I know that my pouch prefers most fluids room temp or warmer.  Then the pouch also craves, well I do, popsicles.  I go through a couple boxes a week. 

Call your MD to see if there are any other possibilities.  Never be afraid to consult the surgeon's office.  The staff are there for help too. 

Hope someone else pops in that may have better ideas.  Hope this resolves quickly.  Take care, Kathy

Hey welcome! Well I did not have the same surgery. But I would suggest what Kathy and even you said. Try drinking less at a time and slower... Also for me straws are no good too much air... Good luck and congrats

I agree too much air or too my in each drink. Be sure your sips are no more than that.. little sips. Also, if this is persistant even with tiny sips and different temps of liquids contact your surgeon. may not be a bad idea to contact him / her anyhow, just to be safe.
