Hi! Congratulations on getting banded. When I got banded, my surgeon placed 3.0 cc of fluid in my band during the operation. That night and the next day, I had severe chest pains. It hurt to breathe. The next day after surgery, my doctor called me and when I mentioned the chest pains he said to go to the clinic immediately. There, he removed liquid, but I don't know how much. Needless to say, the pain disappeared in a matter of minutes. A week later, he placed 1.5 cc and on Monday, July 22 I see him again. My point is that your doctor may have added too much liquid during surgery. You must call him and complain about your chest pains, ok? Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

Yes ma'am. Keep walking and taking Gas X. It will subside soon. Take care and take it easy.
