Pressure On Sternum
Banderina replied to Banderina's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The crazy part is I was fine for days now I sneeze and that didnt hurt but then soon after it is like I got punched in the sternum and did 1,000 situps!! Could the sneezes have released gas into my chest cavity?? Im ten days out and this is killer. I cant even lie down. -

Jealous. I actually called about pressure on my sternum and not being able to burp. I was asked if I was eating food, I said no..then they basically said I shld have no need to burp since im on liquids and that the band is still settling in. im still frustrated. I also sneezed really hard and thats when the pressure started.. -
Let them fall off? Or ok to remove after a week?
-
Scotland, Really? I have not heard this..hmmm. I heard flat was ok. I dunno if its even worth risking it..

Flying 1 Week Post-Op?
Banderina replied to shrinkingcassie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wld think you be ok but most likely very tired and you will need to move around and walk especially if you still have gas pain. Also, to prevent blood clots. Check with your doctor. The first four days are the worst but everyone is diffrent. Good Luck! -
allowed during the liquid phase? Im officially part rabbit..lol
-
I was not required to do a liquid preop diet. Low cal n low fat. Ive been finding information that benefiber is fine to take as needed. It doesnt blow up..and dissolves completely.
-
Im 8 days post op..and Wish I could burp! Ugh its bugging me..feels like a lump in my throat and Im not happy about this!
-
And I still cant burp! Is this normal? Is it because Im swollen?
-
Time, on which day post op?
-
all I hear is that carbonated drinks are a huge no no..
-
I would say look further into whats really in those shots before you consider them your main source of protein...
-
Until the Puree Stage..I cant wait..never thought I wld ever say that!
-
I think if this ever happens to me Im having this sucker out!
-
Today was the first day I had the what the hell have I done to myself moment..that lasted half the day. I cried a bit and tried to shake it off but Im feeling down. Thinking I may need to find a support group..an in person one. Has anyone done this and felt this way? Its coming on again..
