It’s not uncommon to experience some digestive discomfort after gastric sleeve surgery, but the symptoms you're describing&mdash;such as clear sinus drainage, coughing, and the feeling of food not staying down&mdash;aren’t typical and could indicate a few things that should be looked into. The clear sinus drainage might be unrelated to the surgery itself and could be from allergies or sinus issues. However, the feeling of food not staying down and the soreness in your stomach could be a sign of issues like acid reflux, a possible stricture (narrowing of the stomach), or even an issue with how the stomach is healing.
It’s important to contact your surgeon or healthcare provider to discuss these symptoms. They may recommend an endoscopy to check for any structural issues or reflux, and to rule out any complications with your stomach or esophagus.

I would definitely touch base with your surgeon since this is not the normal progress of a patient with a sleeve. You probably need some medication or evaluation of your sleeve. I hope this helps. Warm regards, Dr. Alvarez

Hello, thank you for sharing. I would definitely consider the case for an evaluation.
The first thing is that you must evaluate yourself with your surgeon or main physician to review your case and then proceed to take the best decision for you.My Best Wishes,
