Tiny Chest Pains You Sometime Get



Recommended Posts

the first few days after my surgery i got tiny little chest pains every single time I took a sip of something. Over the days they got fewer and fewer. I am a week out now and I still get some of those tiny chest pains sometimes. They usually come when I take to much of a drink or stretch/yawn. Do these tiny chest pains ever actually go away or is this something that stays with you forever due to the size of your new sleeve?

I didn't have those pains, but maybe it's from your lungs reexpanding after the anesthesia. It could also be from the swelling in your core. It may have prevented your lungs from being able to fully expand. I hope its nothing serious. Hopefully someone knows exactly what it is.

I get these also.. from some people I've talked to it seems to diminish with time. Or comes less and less. Just give it time. I take gas x strips to deal with it. Especially take one before I have any broth or Soup

I think that they do lessen over time, but will always happen when you gulp. At least for me that is how it has been. I used to get them even when I eat. It was my full. But now, only once in a while if I have drank too fast or eaten too fast.

Be very cautious with this. It's my main health issue a year and a half out. The PH level in my stomach changed drastically after the sleeve so sometimes a small change can cause it as well. If it continues see a doctor about esophagitis because your esophagus can become ulcerated from the acid and cause serious damage that feels like heartattacks.

Just constantly update your doctor about how you're feeling. Because things CAN and will get better with time but also things can worsen if they aren't confronted.

That little chest pain was my full signal and I also got it when I drank too much or too quickly. I would say I got it for about the first 2 or 3 months, maybe more. At seven months out I dont get it now and I havent in a long while. My new full is burbing constantly and just feeling very full. The beginning though was that little chest pain. I hated it but in the scheme of things, its not so bad as puking or something like that. Hang in there.. it will diminish over time..take smaller sips further in between to make it lessen.

I was told that what you are feeling are esophageal spasms (spasms in your esophogus) they do eventually go away. I get them too I am 5 weeks post op. I hope they go away soon becauase they can be quite painful. Good luck to you

I had alot in the beginning and mine are sporadic now too usually if I gulp too much drink. From others I have spoken to they usully stop overnight and then you dont get them again. that has not happened yet for me I hope soon ..They are not fun.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
