Fatcat Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hello All, I have a question. I notice whenever I drink anything - hot or cold - I get a pain almost like heartburn caused by the liquid. It feels almost like a brain freeze, but in the chest area. I am just two weeks post op - is that something that heals in time and should go away eventually? Helen :cheerleader: > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynna Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I am just over a week and get kinda the same feeling if I drink too fast or i guess too much...it goes away quickly so I wasn't worried about it...maybe I should be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mona-camille Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hmmmm 2 weeks post op? Did it happen previously? Thast kind of weird if it just happened now. Could you be gulping too much at once? Try smaller sips and see if it still happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim2BSlim Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 What I was feeling when I would PB right after I was banded was like a knot in my throat. It felt really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcat Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 My uncomfortable feeling has been happening from the very beginning - In fact, a couple of times, I had to actually get up and walk around trying to alleviate the pain, but all that helps it is time. Dr. O said I had a HH and he would take care of it; but now I am wondering if this is causing the problem. Any thoughts? Helen > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim2BSlim Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hopefully it will go away soon. I hate that miserable feeling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMichelle Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 If you are gulping water then you can get an air bubble trapped that would give that stuck feeling, walking should relieve it pretty quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcat Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Nope it's not from gulping; I am actually sipping my drinks because of how lousy it feels. Tonight, although I am having shoulder pain really bad, I didn't feel the pain in my esophagus! Hey maybe complaining about it works - ha ha.

Blazn Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Now that is just terrible....I just hate heartburn. Have you tried a tums, pepto, etc. to see if it helps? I hope you get to feeling better soon!! :lb18: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
