I stopped having gas pains two weeks ago. Yesterday morning I started having chest pain on the left side. It hurts when I breath deep. I know they say to walk ... well I worked my butt off at the gym lastnight. No pain during the work out but once I got home it was back. And today I feel like someone is squeezing my heart. I take gas x too but man I feel like I can't function. Is it just gas or something more? I left a vm with the nurse and hope to hear back soon.

extreme chest pains needs to dealt with at the ER or the doctor...great job on calling the nurse....did you have hernia repair? i did and my chest hurt with deep breaths for about two weeks..if you are super concerned, and you feel its your heart, go to ER asap.

I talked to my lapband nurse and she thinks that I did too much too soon with my workout. I was pretty rigorous with my heart rate between 150 - 167. She said to relax and if its better by tomorrow then we know that's what it was but to go to the er if I start to struggle with breathing. My only concern Is that I did have leg pain after surgery and I thought they may have bruised me when I was moved to my recovery bed. But now I'm worried it was clots.

      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.
