caryla

Thanks so much! I'm relieved to know it's not serious. Today looks like a nice day so I think I'm going to actually go for a walk outside. Hopefully that will help. Happy new year to you

For the last 12 hours, I feel like I have lump in my chest just below the bottom of my breast bone and my stomach is growling for the first time since I was banded, which was 5 days ago. Last night I really felt like I was having a heart attack!! I am still on liquids (can only consume up to 40 or so oz.) and protein drinks, 24 ozs,70 grams. Is there any chance there is something seriously wrong? I admit, the gas pain has been bad, but I finally started passing it yesterday and found some relief. I have done nothing except stayed on doctor's orders but this pain and pressure in my chest won't stop!

I'm trying very hard to believe I'm feeling better every day, but let me tell you, by night the gas is at times unbearable and that feeling of tightness at the top of the diaphram feels like I'm going to have a heart attack. Thank God I keep listening to all of you. It's helpful to know wer'e all going through it together. I just started the Protein drinks today and trying hard to get down the last 10 grams of it. I'm having trouble with the sipping, I swear I'm taking in les than the 1/2 tsp ata time but it still seems to be to much Question about the Gas-X How much can you take a day? I think I really need more than the recommended dosage! ps......the toots can easily turn to poops!:embarassed:

My whole left side of belly are shades of blue, black, yellow and green. IT's growing in size and very painful to the touch. Should I be concerned? At least today (day 3) I don't have the gas pains like I did on day 2!!!

My surgery is today too! leaving for the hospital in another 45 minutes! Very excited!
