Well, it depends on when you had the surgery, but if it's been more than 8 weeks I would diffenately tell the p;doctor. Drinking Gas X work to help the pain, but if you are eating fiberous food that will cause bloating as well. In anycase you should get to the doctor the pain around the port area could be due to scar tissue adhering to the port ring, only way to tell is to get an x-ray. I was going thru similar issues as well; however, the end result was that my gallbladder was malfunctioning it wasn't until I was throwing up bile that it confirmed the doctors suspecions to reset. So...you may want to get your gallbladder checked b/c that causes pain accross your chest. I hope this help.

omg I'm going to have surgery on the 27th and been on the pre-op since Wednesday. I thought I was the only one feeling nervous. Honestly this pre-op diet is the worst. I just want it over with I'm scared about after the surgery as well, but I know I can handle the broth and mushy food that's not an issue. I just don't know why now I'm jittery, I mean I had 6+ months to prepare physically and mentally ; (
