3 weeks out- question about pain in chest

[Julie* 0]

Hi Everyone-

I have had a very good recovery from my banding surgery and am still on mushies. 2 days ago I noticed that I had an achy pain under my left breast that seems to come and go. It goes away at night and is worse in the morning when I stand up. Right now I just had some blended Soup and it feels yucky again. It's not by my port b/c that is on my right side and doesn't hurt at all.

I am planning on calling my surgeon tomorrow but has anyone been through this? Should I go on Clear liquids for a couple of days to see if that helps? It's just such a weird achy pain.

Thanks,

Julie

sounds like wind, maybe try some wind pills see what happens

Do you mean gas when you say wind? I was thinking it could be gas too but it seemed weird to get it 3 weeks out.

yes sorry gas, lol no you can get wind anytime band or no band and at the moment your tum is particularly delicate or your eating a lot of gas causing mushy stuff lol

under the heart is a prime site for wind the back and shoulders are also prime sites

aww

I feel for you as it can be very painful cant it

Gas Pain

Gas Pain is usually a sharp persistent pain under the left breast and sometimes up to the shoulder, associated with pain in the upper left abdomen and often with belching.

Tilly-

Thank you SO much. You have really put my mind at ease. My symptoms are exactly as you described. It' worse when I burp or yawn or move around quickly. I am assuming it's due to my mushy diet that has lots of dairy and carbs. I guess the next 6 days are going to be some different stuff like more applesauce and fruit smoothies.< /p>

Julie, MsJoy got the same pains. Doctor put her on Prilosec OTC. She takes one a day and she's been doing the GasX, too. Her pain eased up in about 3 days.

Thank you Randy. I am taking GasX now and will call my doc about prilosec as well b/c the pain is still going strong this morning.

Good luck with it, hon. I know Joy was COMPLAINING and really getting a bit anxious about it. The Prilosec fixed her right up. And she figured out that she had to stay away from the V-8 juice.< /p>
