dominiquekyani 4 Posted September 17, 2017 Day 3 Still having horrible chest pains and hard for me to breathe in and out. Also hard for me to lay flat. I'm sipping the smallest amounts possible. I feel so thirsty but since it hurts so much when I swallow I don't want to cause pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mytimenow17 99 Posted September 17, 2017 It will get easier. Make sure you do the breathing exercises. That helps. I'm a week out and still have some chest pain, but better each day. 1 dominiquekyani reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmaJ 130 Posted September 17, 2017 I think you need to notify your doctor, just so they're aware - to be on the safe side. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using BariatricPal mobile app 1 dominiquekyani reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoyandLight 42 Posted September 17, 2017 That pain was so awful! I feel so bad for you! If it's not better by now call your doc. There is no reason for you to be in that pain for so long. 3 dominiquekyani, OmaJ and Mytimenow17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nancy MBGC 90 Posted September 17, 2017 Could it be the pain from where the breathing tube was in surgery? That lasts for awhile 1 dominiquekyani reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OmaJ 130 Posted September 17, 2017 Being intubated may cause a sore throat, but not chest pain. I would call your doctor. 1 dominiquekyani reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shanicebarry 15 Posted September 17, 2017 It could be the gas in your body, make sure that you are walking, mine was the gas in my body! 3 OmaJ, dominiquekyani and cathy britt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
