every sip of water is followed by a slight burp then a pain. Deep breaths hurt and it hurts to get in or out of bed and I just want to stay there.

Keep walking and keep sipping. If it becomes a bigger problem or concern for you, don't be afraid to call the doc. That is what they are there for.
Hope you feel better.

Walking and doing breathing exercises are necessary and will help you feel better and recover more quickly.  The pain will improve if you are doing this as well.

I agree, pain comes with it but not for long - You need TO WALK AND SIP ALL DAY - if you dont take in a lot af clear fluids, you will have one hugh problem.  Constipation can be a bi product of this and I dont mean a little - think baseball, enemas, suppositories and 2 hrs on the john - truly a bad day.  I've been there
Get it up and walk around the house every hour ask doc for pain meds

Hang in there.  It all sounds normal.  I felt great the first couple of days then felt like crap for several days after that.  Walk, sip, rest, repeat!!

Call the doc if you have a concern.  They are used to it!

You may have a stricture...10% of RNY patients get them.  It is a narrowing of the tube just below your pouch.  Usually from scar tissue.  This is very common.  See your doctor...there is a simple procedure to get it fixed...called a scope.  Also don't be surprised (freak out) if you have to go back a second or third time to get scoped.  Also very common.  Brian

No problem getting stuff down, just real real sore. once I crapped out all the coffee grinds(blood) the gas has subsided. Just burning when I get up and down, breath deep etc. Never realized how much I used the abs till they were cut.

Hope you are feeling better.  Hang in there, get up and walk.  Don't forget to call the doc if stuff continues and you have questions.  Drink your water and don't get dehydrated.
