Concerned (Center of Chest Pain)



Recommended Posts

Hey all, I am going to set an appointment with my doctor but in the mean time I was curious if any of you all might have had this problem.

Over the last 3 or 4 days, whenver I eat and about 10 minutes later I develop a really bad pain in the center of my chest. Then it lasts for over an hour if not more and then goes away until I eat again.

I have done really well, lost almost 100 lbs and not a problem. The only thing different this week is I ate more than I have in the past, and especially more carbs. Perhaps this is a coincidence, not sure. But one thing I know if I don't eat, it doesnt hurt?? If my bad slipped woulndt it be a more constant pain?

Thanks in advcance for your replies.

Well I don't have an official answer for what's happening but I know that pain. It's what I get when I eat beyond the capacity of my band, particularly if I eat hard to digest foods like Pasta, bread or sometimes meat. It feels to me like my somach pouch is stretched and pressing against the band. It's my reminder that if I don't eat properly I could get to a point that I have complications that require the band to be removed. Sometimes I have to go to a day or two of soft foods to reduce get things back on track.

I think you might be right, this past week is the first time I really went at it with the food. I have been very disciplined since I was banded on 7/16 of this year. Today I went to liquids and no pain, I will do the same tomorrow as well and this should get me back on track, thanks again.

If I eat too much or eat too fast, I feel like I'm having a heart attack -- excruciating pain right in my chest. Well, I've never had a heart attack before, so I'm assuming it feels like excruciating chest pain.

It sounds like you may just be trying to eat too much. Congrats on your weight loss, though! That's awesome!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
