Chest Pain

Hello everyone,

I am 5 days post op for gastric bypass and I am still have chest pain.  The doctors and nurses said it was from the gas, but it hurts to walk, drink or eat anything.  Did anyone else experience anything similar?

I had a burning pain in my side but the doctor said it could be from hitting a nerve during surgery. It lingered for 3 weeks then it went away. Chest pain no.

Where is the pain?  Have you had is since the surgery?  Has it moved?  I know it hurts to walk and move, but you need to, also do you have a rocking chair?  That helped me get the gas moving while I wasn't walking much (due to knee issues) but it did help move things along.  If it is not moving getting better or worse call the Dr.  They don't mind and will not make fun of you or be upset that you called.   Just the opposite, they get upset if you have questions and you don't call.  Hope you feel better soon.
