Today is one week since my surgery. I am having horrible terrible chest pain. I have my "exit appoinment" wednesday, but I am going to the hospital where I had it done tomorrow morning instead. I am on my second bottle of liquid vicodin. I have been crying and sweating since last Thursday. Has ANYONE else had terible chest pain? I am fallowing all the rules; breathing thing, walking, eating right ect. any advice? Im not quite to the point of going to the ER, but I do have another night to make it through! :(

If you're sweating, it may be a sign of infection.

is it accompanied by a fever?

I have had chest pain for the last two days or so,

called my nurse friend and she said to drink warm/hot tea to help soothe the pressure.

Its most likely gas

(except for me since I'm PMS-ing right now as well as healing!)

I'm sorry you're feeling bad, and I'm sending you a hug through this post!

Definitely phone the Dr. That is not something to take lightly.

Making it thru the night does not sound like an option.

I just had surgery a week ago also and was experiencing the same thing only when i took deep breaths, if thats the case with u then i was told it was from the gas. They just told me to keep walking but def. call ur dr. i was scared as well

Be sure to get to us and let us know what the outcome is.

I have my suspicions, but I know enough to not question chest pain unless I am there to make a physical assessment.

Hello, thank you all so much for your concern. That is the support I have been looking for! :) I actualy left last night for the emergency room all the way up in Marina Del Rey, the same place where I had the surgery and where my doctor is. By the time I got up there, I decided to tough it out until I saw Dr. Kormic the next morning. To make a long story short, all of my vitals are OK, and I just have to stay ontop of my pain med dosages. I may just be more sensitive in that area than others. I still have pain, but with the meds. , its berable! :0) Thank you again, and I lost 12 lbs. in a week lol! I know its mostly Water weight! :0) Im Ok and thank you so much again. Lindsay :0)

Chest pain is an ER visit. Plain and simple. There are many things to be ruled out and a phone call to your doctor will more than likely amount to him telling you to go to the ER if it is after hours and you cannot walk into his office. Just a side question, do you still have your gallbladder?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
