So I'm 2 weeks post -op and today,I felt like I was dying. My chest felt a sharp piercing pain when I breath and my stomach felt like it was about to explode. On top of that I was nauseous the whole day and I had pain all over my legs. I did walk to see if that would help but the pain continued... I was about to go to the ER but I took the meds and pass out. When I woke up the pain was still there but not as strong.... has anyone felt like that before? Or had that chest pain where it hurt when breathe like shortness of breathe?

That doesn't sound normal. You should still go in or at least call an advice nurse. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Yes, seek medical attention. However, I also had the same pain on day 6 and it turns out it was just gas (and a lot of it too!). It was so strange because it came out of no where. Either way, everyone is different so I still strongly suggest you go to an ER.

What product did you take to manage the gas and bloating? I was sleeved 6/15. Hope you're feeling better.

      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.
