Is It Gas Pain?

[Shannon28 26]

I had my surgery on Monday April 16th. Yesterday I felt the worst because I was so bloated and the port site was extremely sore. Today I woke up so much better, actually was hungry, been getting in more fluids,etc. But I still have a nagging pain that comes and goes in the middle of my chest. It feels like a stuck burp. I noticed it's mostly after swallowing my liquids. It doesn't hurt right as I swallow but it hurts a few seconds after swallowing. Is this gas pain? It's not an unbearable pain, it's just annoying.

That doesn't sound like gas pain. That sounds like the feeling you get from taking too big of a bite or drink, and/or not chewing well. I'm sure you're still pretty swollen from surgery. Try taking smaller sips.

I've been taking tiny sips but I guess it could still be from being swollen. It's not as bad as yesterday but it's still annoying. It hurts sometimes without even drinking anything, it almost feels like a burp is trying to come up but gets stuck halfways.

You are still healing and your stomach could still be swollen. Just take tiny baby sips. I know it is hard to get all the Water in but just sip all day long. It will get better. Good luck!

It sounds like air bubbles.... make sure you arent drinking from a straw and like others have said... tiny sips of all liquids.

It will be 2 weeks before you feel normal again.

Thank You everyone! I'm definitely trying to get as close to 64oz as I can. I noticed if I rub my chest when I get that pain it helps out quite a bit, don't know if it's "actually" helping or if its in my head but whatever works lol
