Could b normal since u still have lots of gas in ur system. Is it pain or pressure?

A girl I talked to was having pain and her doc told her that she was dehydrated and needed more liquids, but we all are different. I know we are supposed to get pressure on our chest. Sometimes the pressure might hurt" lat night I had to sleep w two pillows to keep my head rally high and not feel the pressure. As always, we will recommend to call the doc. He owes u a phone call (w/in 24, 48hrs). Call him. Right now I'm starting to feel the pressure

Start walking. It could be gas like the above poster suggested. That can be very painful! I have read a lot of posts from people saying they are only able to take small sips at a time right after surgery because of the pain. Just make sure you get enough liquids so you don't get dehydrated. If you ever feel uncomfortable about how your feeling you should call your surgeon. That's what they're there for! Good luck and I hope you start feeling better soon!

if its (pain) that hurts, def let your dr know

if its just uncomfortable, then its a combo most likely

of being swollen, and maybe some gas. def keep on sipping.
