Hurts more than I thought!

Hey! Welcome to the biggest losers club!. Glad you mad it through alright. I had the same enormous pressure on my chest when I woke from surgery but once I was sitting straight up that got better. I know it's a cliche, but hang in there it DOES get better! The pain is probably gas, so walk, walk and walk some more, and because sipping water ingests air as well I was told to eat ice chips, which made things better. The gas pain**** me in the back and between the shoulder blades the most and walking it out really is the only way to get rid of it, but GasX strips may help as well. Walk, sip, rest, sleep, you will feel better soon, I promise!
