pain in "breadbasket"??

Does anyone get a pain in their "breadbasket" area of stomach after eating?? Or a pain in chest area??

For me, pain after I ate signified at stricture. Pain before eating that went away when I ate signified an ulcer. Contact your surgeon's office. They will probably want to do an endoscopy to see if it's a stricture. If it is, they'll dilate you back open & you'll be good to go. Don't wait too long as this can cause you to throw up not only food but liquid as well and cause dehydration.

It usually happens when I am extremely thirsty and i "gulp" my water.......

Oh hon! I am over 3 yr post op and would hurt if I were to gulp! I can 'drink' as oppose to 'sip' now...but gulp? Nope. Slow down and enjoy the water. Your pouch will thank you for it. Sherri

Gulping can cause pain.  I am almost 4 wks out and I still cant gulp.  It is probably putting more than your stomach can hold at 1 time.

It could be that you are full.  Are you measuring your food?  I got a pain in my chest if I ate too much or ate something that would swell in my pouch.

Or if I take to big of a bite.. it causes a lot of discomfort for a while.. I usually just stop eatting and go do something else... or sip a cup of hot tea to relax my abused pouch... But yea, I again agree with every one I h ave been there... too.. Linda Kay
