Having chest pains



Recommended Posts

July 30th was my 1 yr anniversary for my gastric bypass surgery. For the last two days I'm having really bad chest pains under my breast bone and through my back to my should. It's not gas. I went to the dr today he thinks it's my barrettes esophagus he wants me to see my GI dr on Monday. He also put me on Clear Liquids till then. The pain kept me up all night last night I'm afraid the same will happen tonight too. It's a consistent pain that sometimes gets intense. Today they did echocardiogram, chest X-ray and blood work. So my heart was good. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Hi ,

I started having similar pains about a week ago. It was so bad I had my husband take me to the ER. My surgeon is out of state for awhile so one of the others from the office came & checked me. My heart checked out fine thankfully. Wish I could say the same for my stomach treating it as a ulcer. My husband is concerned cause I'm still having a lot of pain but mostly at night. I haven't been eating very much but then again I not suppose to are we lol. Like I told him it'll take a little while for meds to work. I have to trust the Dr cause he's been doing this long than I've been living with this so here's hoping the meds work

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
