chest pains anyone?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone else had these pains I'm having? I have been feeling great, except for the past 3 days I'm having sharp pains in my upper chest area. (where my bra strap would be ladies,ha). It only happens at night and early morning, especially if I take a deep breath. I know it's not acid reflux or anything. But it feels like something is strained. Did anyone else have these pains post op?

I know I'm still recovering. It only scared me because I had been feeling perfectly fine for the past 2 wks then all of a sudden this happened. Thanks for any info!

Really, I have had that happen a few times. The first time was just a couple of weeks post-op. It only lasts a few days and then it's better. Usually mine occurs after I've had something stuck, vomited, etc. I think my pouch just gets irritated and swollen, and it takes a few days to get back to normal. I normally go on liquids for a few days when it happens.

My surgery was exactly one week ago today.

Yes I have chest pain quite a bit. I think it's in the sternum area. Tightness, heaviness, and pains.

I was told it's all normal.

      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?
