jess_18 12 Posted September 24, 2017 I'm one week post op and I'm experiencing really bad pains in the middle of my chest, when I breath in its tight, then if I bend over or stand up it's like someone is hitting me in the chest from inside! Any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missy161 395 Posted September 24, 2017 You can try gas x strips but walking is the best thing for that trapped air and gas. I hope it passes soon!Mich WHw 223, SW 217 CW 181 GW 135 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

46w4kds 177 Posted September 24, 2017 I had the same experience, coughing, sneezing, and especially eating. I did go see my Dr after suffering several days and come to find out I had esophagus spasms, put me on medication and the pain is almost all gone now.But definitely call your Dr to make sure it's nothing serious. Btw, I'm 3wks post-opSent from my SM-G928T using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ponytailoftexas 4 Posted September 24, 2017 I'm a newbie! Had my sleeve surgery with hiatal hernia repair this past Thursday and the pain in my chest area, collar bone region, neck and arms was terrible. I have been walking as much as possible and it has dissipated somewhat; however, still very sharp pains exist. About how many days does it normally take for the gas/air to finally release? Feeling your pain over here ... still cannot lay down in bed to sleep! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
