these pains in my chest....

ok guys i know i posted a comment about how bad my gas pains are, but today i'm 4 days post-op and my chest hurts soo bad now that i just want to cry. can this still be gas? i am so upset and hate the fact that i am regretting getting my band. i called the doctor and am just waiting for a call back. thanks for all your support, michelle

Yes, it can still be gas. Be patient. try gas X strips and walk. Good luck

Glad you called the doctor just in case, but it is probably gas.. keep walking.. and walking and walking.. it will get better!

Are you using your pain meds?? Seriously I know a lot of people don't want to but they do give them to you for a reason (because you'll be in pain). And you are only 4 days out. It could be gas, but then it could be just your insides getting reaquiainted with the new band. Drink water, walk, take your liquid vicodin and relax. YOU want this. No regrets. Its too early for regrets ;) you've gotta get some skinny jeans first. Positive thoughts! Breathe!!!! Pain is temporary, skinny is so close!!

Michelle...did your dr ever call you back?? I was just wondering....Marcy

Greetings! Hang in there. I had a similar experience along with a hard time breathing because I think I had some swelling and I had to breath shallow because I would pinch a nerve in my back and had the other pains with air/gas. The first 3 weeks you need to take it easy. Take your pain medicine regularly, do not wait until you are in pain. Do not eat to much to soon. Time is your friend and you will feel better soon. Troy
