Pain in Sternum

By JennMarie

· 138 views

The last couple of days I have been getting this pain right below my sternum. It feels like it needs to be popped and if I press down on it, it feels a little tender. I am one year post op and wasn't sure if this could be a sign of slipage. Anyone out there who has had this same feeling and what it turned out to be. I don't have any pain when I eat or drink and I have had my gallbladder removed.

    Does it go away or come on at a certain time? Like laying down, after exercise, after drinking water (I'm just thinking of things?). I'd suggest recording some information and calling your surgeon with the info. Best wishes..........

    It goes away. I don't have any problems with eating or drinking. Its really weird. When Im laying down I don't feel it at all its when I stand up. I made an appointment for next tuesday. I just fear that the band has slipped
