Hello I was banded on oct 3 and I'm having chest pain specially when a take a deap breath is this normal??

Yes, it's from the gas that was pumped into your abdominal cavity during surgery.

Try a heating pad. Walk as much as you can because it will help your body reabsorb it faster.

Best wishes.

so true gasx is a life saver

Yes, its normal.

The gas will start coming out eventually and you will feel relief.

For me walking and drinking warm liquids was the best remedy .

Good luck and feel better soon.

I just had surgery on the 3rd to and that's where I had my pain and still have it a little good luck on your journey

I was also banded on the 3rd and I get the same pain....how's everything else going otherwise...what are you eating? Or drinking? Lol I'm so boreddddd..!!!

How are you doing with your first week? We were banded the same day.

Even after I couldn't feel the gas anymore I still felt that way for awhile - I didn't know it was still gas but it was. It does get better. Hang in there!!

Gas x, walking and hot tea saved me from that miserable pain. Gd luck

Kbrax I'm doing good just that pain in the chest that kills me sometimes , I'm sleeping a lot better I start sleeping with 4 pillows now using 2 lol , went to walmart today and walk a lot .
