Chest Pains and the band ?



Recommended Posts

DONT FREAK !! I am not sure if i am having anxiety attacks or what is going on . This has happened to me twice in the last month or so . Keep in mind I am under an UN GAWDLY amount of stress right now .

But I have been having some kind fo chest pains or pressure.

Both times happened when I did not get "StucK" but like it was just enough to say That's it your done eating.

Today I ate some egg noodles. Sometimes i can tolerate them sometimes i cant. So now Im having those pains again .

It hurts when I take a deep breathe sometimes.

I will go get this checked if it keeps up and when i have the money , just curious if anyone else experiences this ?

I posted about it a long time ago. Mine were sharp and quick but came back and they put me in the ER to rule out heart. It ended up being acid reflux which I suppose can be stress related too but mine was related to the band. They put me on protonix and I had my band removed because of it and the fact the band didn't work for me. I never had the reflux that went up to my throat and felt like heart burn so that's kind of why the reflux thing flew me for a loop even though I knew it wasn't my heart. Get it checked out, you know you should, take care, Nancy.:smile:

      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.
