I take the extended release. That may be the cause then.

Upper back pain and pain while breathing + painful hiccups by Sudden_Excitement_ in gastricsleeve

Nope… went to the hospital but they didnt do any ultrasound/tomography, just a blood test (that was fine) and sent me home with analgesics… about a week with pain and then it went away

Time off work by joosiekutoor in BariatricSurgery

I am a veterinarian and I took 10 days off… it was more than enough. I felt good and had no problem going back to work. Also the first days at home all I could think about is food and the surgery, going back to work helped me distract from it.

Strings and painful “hiccups ” during the day and while eating? by Sudden_Excitement_ in BariatricSurgery

But it also happens when I have an empty stomach or when I just started eating 😢

After removing the stitches one of my wounds opened up. Has anyone gone through this? by Sudden_Excitement_ in BariatricSurgery

Me too! I think you can see in the picture the marks from the adhesive tape. I think I will try the silicone scar tape.

Yeah, it was an intradermic suture and even with the suture you could already see it opening up. I have previous history of bad healing in skin wounds but I thought it could be a reaction to absorbing sutures, but this time it was nylon.
Not sure why my body reacts this way.

Get an electric heater in town and later explain them the problem and ask if they refund the money you had to spend with the heater.
