I was the same way Catalina. I'm sorry you are going through this pain. When I posted my 1 st week after surgery, alot of people didn't know what I meant by "pain in my chest". Mine felt like a contraction or spasm. I had a lot of swelling and as the days went by the pain subsided a little each day. I was on liquid pain meds. Tasted awful..eewwww... but helped a little on the pain. It was still there though. People were telling me it was gas but it wasn't. Not the pain in the chest. Once the swelling begins to go down it will get better. I'm 11 days out now and hardly feel it at all. Hope this helps. God Bless!

I'm glad I wasn't the only person who felt this pain. I am a little over 3 weeks post op now and doing so much better. Thanks for your kind words!

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to everyone! I had my sleeve and had a little bit of trouble with my recovery.. I would like to talk to ALL OF YOU! I don't care if you're grandmas or live far away. I live on the far north side of Chicago, basically almost in Skokie. Please feel free to send me a friend request and good luck to each and every one of you!

I couldn't wait the 3 weeks my doctor told me to hold off from having sex. I have been off my birth control pill because it was making me sick. Has anyone ever taken the morning after pill with the sleeve? I just ordered it from my pharmacy and am freaking out. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have never had gas pain/heartburn like this. Any suggestions? I am already taking reglan and zofran. I cannot lie down flat without an extreme pain in my chest. Any advice would be appreciated!

Mina, I am in the same boat. Well, sort of. I am on my 5 day pre-op diet. Today is day 3. I am holding up well. Aunt Flo decided she wanted to come early so I am craving chocolate hardcore. What Protein Drink are you using? I haven't been using any so far and I do feel fine but my doctor warned me to start taking something asap.

I'm from Chicago! My surgery is this coming Wednesday, the 30th. I have Dr. Tiesenga. Any one else near the Oak Park/Elmwood Park area?

I have my surgery scheduled for this coming Wednesday, May 30th. Looking for some Chicago or Chicagoland sleeve buddies! I am almost 25 years old and would love to meet some people my age going through the same thing!

May 30th here!

This is my first post ever. My surgery is 5 days away and I am terrified. I am also quite hungry and very emotional. I truly believe this margarita flavored crystal light is the only reason my husband is still breathing. I am such a mess! I really need some support here. I am from the Chicagoland area. Please, someone, hear me. Tell me this is going to be okay..
