7 Days out and I still wake up with sharp pains in my chest. I know it must be gas, but so uncomfortable. How long before this disappears?

I was sleeved May 6th and it took a little over a week for me.. I walked and walked and walked but it seemed to be stuck . But it finally went away. Good luck and hope you feel better soon. It does get better :)

do you still have the drain in? As soon as they took it out my pain went away. It was not gas like i was told.

Try putting some heating pads on the area, I know they helped me a lot!

Be well…

Update on chest pains and suggestions if anyone else is having the same problem.

DR said its mucus that gets caught, causes lightheaded ness, to solve use breathing thingy every two hours. Worked like a charm, although it does come back overnight. This and inactivity cause pneumonia. So keep breathing Sleevers!

I had Gas pain for the first 2 weeks. I quickly found out a lot of my problems were a result of calcium chews. I haven't tried Calcium only Suppliments since I figured it out. I am terrified of how it made me feel. But I know I need calcium in addition to my multi Vitamin

      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.
