When were you banded? I had pains like this for the first three days after surgery and could not take a deep breath to save my life. it was the worst part of the whole thing for me. Then, it went away, all by itself! These pains can last for quite a while and sometimes radiate to the shoulder too (I didn't have that thank goodness). If you aren't long out of surgery, then keep doing what you're doing and walk around as much as you can and it will go.

Hi N,

I was banded on Monday and I have been having chest pains too! They come and go. I almost always feel it when I am sitting on the toilet ;).

I think it is gas from the surgery. Hopefully it will work its way out soon. When were you banded?

Hello NP,

I was banded on 4/27/06 and I still occasionally get that same chest pain... It will com and go for a little while. Be careful with your liquids, they may be too cold or too hot for you, which can also cause the pains in your chest to . My issue was drinking to fast. Once I slowed down, my chest pains diminished. Good Luck!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
