Pain in Chest When I Eat!

So this only started happening today but I have a pain sort of across my chest, it flares up a bit when i chew and swallow food, i'm not sure if it's band related because I haven't had anything put into it yet, and it could be because I went out last night but just wanted to see if anyone else had this problem??

Call your doctor.

Are you following your diet? You may be eating foods that are too difficult for this stage or you might not be chewing enough or not waiting long enough between bites. It takes a while to learn how to eat after being banded but generally if it is painful it means there is something wrong with your eating technique.

I'm not too sure what's going on at the moment, it's been a few hours and the pain feels like it's now coming from my back, it's the strangest thing, it's not a horrible intense pain it's just a little discomfort really, but i'll see what it's like tomorrow and over the next few days, thanks :)

I would always call the doctor for pains in your chest that radiate to your back so be sure to do that but I know gas pains also feel that way. Try taking some gas x and using a heat pad on your chest. That helps me.
