Even though my doctor said I had a very smooth surgery and all is well with me, I have almost unbearable pain! Sometimes I'm ok but mostly I'm just in pain. I can't seem to drink anything at any temperature and not have a "spasm" in my chest. I was sleeved on Friday morning and it's just been getting worse and worse. I sip sip sip and I'm walking, but not much improvement... not sustainable anyway. The pain just comes up out of nowhere and it feels like I'm having a heart attack or something just for a few seconds and then it will subside. Drinking makes it happen too, but it also happens when I'm not drinking (sipping). I am able to pass gas and burp some too, so I'm not thinking it's gas trapped...but could be wrong. Can anyone tell me what might be happening to me or how long this might last?

It's not unbearable. It's almost the same as gallbladder surgery... maybe even easier?
