Advice about tightness
I am three weeks plus a few days out of surgery and have not had a fill yet. However, started last night, I have had a tight feeling in my chest and I have had a hard time eating. I can swallow and keep food down without any problem, but I feel a tightness when I swallow. It sort of feels like gas but it doesn't go away.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Has anyone else had this problem?
I am almost 6 weeks out from my surgery date and I have not experienced that. Why don't you give your Dr. a call and ask the question? Have you tried using Gas-X or Bean-O...or something similar?
My mantra: Each day is an new opportunity to be happier, healthier and better than the day before. I will live each day with enthusiam and be thankful for the many blessings that surround me. I will do my best to pay it forward whenever possible. 
I get that sometimes too. It's a pain in the butt. Are you at TOM? Lots of women say they have this extra tightness around that time. I'd ask the Dr. Sorry I have no real help for you. :(

Mine all most feels like heartburn when it hits, but I don't think that it is. I don't know. I forget to ask my Dr. last week. You should bring it up and see what he says. I need to too at Decembers appt. Glad your feeling better though!!

During that initial time right after surgery there is a lot of inflammation in the area just because of the surgery. I know I felt the same way for the first 4-6 weeks, but I promise it does get easier. Once you finish healing all that should go away and should happen a whole lot less frequently.
<-------Pharmacist I can answer general questions, but for more serious questions always ask your surgeon.
