Chest Pains! What To Do?

Hey there! Today makes 5 weeks post op. On Saturday, I tried to have grilled chicken and cheese. It gave me horrible heart burn. But since then I have the nausea feeling. Every time I try to eat, I get horrible chest pains followed by vomiting. I can't even do water or finish a Popsicle. I'm calling the doc but I wanted to know if any of you had this.

I am so sorry that you are feeling so bad. I think the best thing would be for you to call your doc asap! I had a similar problem about 4 weeks out. As I was talking to the nurse, I realized that I had forgotten to take my protinix for several days. They told me to take them twice a day for about a week, but if I didn't start to feel better, then I would need to come in. So hopefully, it will be something simple like that for you also.

Please keep us posted!

As stated already - CALL THE DOC ASAP. If they can't see you right away PLEASE GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. YOu can get very sick very fast if you get dehydrated.

Please take car of yourself!

Riss, Sounds like you might have something caught at the top of your sleeve. It's one of the reasons that we are told to chew our food to mush, especially very early post-op. The esophagus (sp?) is swollen leading into the sleeve and it is possible for something to catch there. Please call the doc/or go to the ER right away. Since you're not even able to swallow water, it may be a blockage.
