Thanks for all the advise.. all is taken well... its because it is all new to me is why I sought out for any thing others where willing to tell me... The pain mostly is in the middle of my breast bone... I get this even when I swallow water... especially cold water.... but warm tea usually goes down pretty good... I just get this feeling like I am choking... I do not have trouble burping .. I even burp water.... I know all things take time.. and I am sure I will have man more questions .. so I want to thank all of you all for your input.

I had surgery on weds morning and as of tonight I am still hurting so bad. My stomach cramps, the incisions hurt, my stomach muscles hender me getting up and down. Today I got released to drink milky drinks or strained soups and they make my chest hurt to drink them. Now my question is .. is this normal and if it is how long will it last?
