Strange feeling in center of my chest?



Recommended Posts

I was banded 3/19/09. Everything has gone pretty smoothly. But a couple of days ago I noticed a feeling in my upper stomach that doesn't feel right. When I take a deep breath it feels as if something hits the back of my rib, in the center of my chest. Its like something popping. Has anyone had this happen to them? I am afraid my band has come loose.

I was banded on 1/16/09 and for a couple of weeks after my surgery, I felt a slight pain when I would take a deep breath. It went away though and I haven't had any problems since.

Thanks, Salliemae. I'll try not to get so excited over everything, but my surgeon hasn't done many of these surgeries and I am afraid he may have done something wrong.

Jancar, How are you doing? Has the pain gone away? I'm curious, why haven't you had a fill until now? I am still having the popping around by left lower rib. I think it must be the tubing?!?! bgab

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
