i am 5th day post op I am having chest pain that gets worse when I lay down is this just gas or something worse? happened last night also but did not last as long any ideas?

It sounds like gas. If it were your heart, the pain would remain the same regardless of what position you're in.

Try a heating pad, it helped bring me some relief after surgery.

oh I hope ur right I was worried it was band slipping?

I very highly doubt it. The gas pain after surgery can be really nasty and that sounds exactly like what you're experiencing.

Highly unlikely your band would slip after recent surgery it is sown in pretty tight and swollen around it. It is pretty much GAS and I know it hurts like hell but eventually it goes away when you start moving and you use gas strips and a heating pad helps.

Heating pad helps, walking and sleep propped up with 2 pillows. I also find massage helps too. It will pass, mine took 2 wks+.
