question about chest and band tightness

Hello everyone, I am now 5 days out from surgery my weight at the beginning was 340 pre-op 321 and today 5 days out 316 a total of 24 pounds down. my breathing is better now and the pain is just in the insesions. but i have notice and unpleasant feeling and was hoping someone out there could give some input on this. my band area feels weird, When i take a deep breath in my band and stomach feels tight and my chest its an uncomfortably feeling no pain its uncomfortably to lay certain ways for a few minutes, i have to hurry and sit up when the feeling gets to much then i will burp.I am not sick, or vomiting and anything like that. so i don't think my band has slipped. and it when it happens i feel an uncontrollable erge to burp and cant or if i do it hurts. anyone out there feeling what i am.:tongue::eek:

Hi I had those pains for about one month. I asked and it is the healing taking place inside. I also felt tugging and pulling on the inside too. Move slowly and no jumping around for a while. Let everything settle. This is your time to heal and take care of yourself. Call your Dr. for any questions I did and they are more than glad to help you, they almost want to hear from you. I still have a hard time burping I just can't so I end up with a lot of little gurgles sounds. I just try to relax my throat it helps. Best wishes I am sure all will be well soon. Keep blogging it helps. imaluckydog

Hi i am 8 days post op i have the same thing.. i asked my doctor at my appointment and was told it normal. Your body just has to get use to the band. i have noticed that everyday it gets a little better. Good Luck to you!

Thank you for the question I am 72 hrs into this and was wondering if I was dying or what...LOL I am experiencing the same thing.....
