    Hang in there it will hopefully get better. I am in the same boat, I was banded on the 8th of february, at the hospital I walked around alittle bit and noticed that my chest starting to hurt, it felt like i also had a shortness of breath when i walked, and still feel that way. From the post i am reading it is normal, and when i talked to my doctor he said it was normal to. Just try to walk around alittle bit and breathe into the tube helps out, the liquid medicine doesn't work for me, I am actually going to try to take the liquid tylenol that may actually help for ache and pains. Hope you get well.

I am craving to get something to eat, I am on a post liquid diet this is the 4th day and i am starving, all i want is a salad and i can't have that, but i am hanging in there.
  3. I my name is Karen and i was banded on Feb. 8 2010. When i was at the hospital my chest hurt alot my doctor said it was normal because i had tubes down my throat. Since being home I have been getting really bad gas pains, so i been walking at the mall on at the gym, everytime I move I get a shortness of breath, as well I feel it alot more when i try to burb. I talked to the nurse and she said it is normal. I am truly not trying to freak out and I know and anticipated that there would be some discomfort and abnormalities going on with my body, but I didn't anticipate this. Have anyone experience the same thing and if so where there meds to help with the chest pains because the one my doctor prescribed does nothing for my chest pains I am sure it would help for my stomache if it hurt but i don't have pains where my incessions are on my stomache so drinking the med in my opinion is useless.
