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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
