Hi everyone I have a couple of questions I've had chest pain and upper back pain after i eat I'm thinking it might be heartburn because it only happens after I eat but lasts forever like hours and I occasionally take ibuprofen and I take Zolpidem or "Ambian" to help me sleep could this be causing a heart problem? Just curious

I would def ck with your Dr to be on safe side. Might be gas or acid. I also take ambien with no stomach upset. Do you take Prilosec or something similar ? Good Luck to you

This is defiantly something to talk to your doc about. I don't think we are supposed to take Ibuprofen after surgery for pain, so that could be making the matter even worse. Tylenol is the over the counter med for pain. It does sound like it is gas or indigestion or something but your doc can give you something for that,.

I sure hope we can take ambien after surgery because I have horrible insomnia and I depend on the ambien nightly. And even with it it takes several hours to go to sleep and I don't sleep for very many hours.

Hope You find out what is wrong, I have had that feeling with the band and I know it is miserable.

Definitely stop taking Ibuprofen. No NSAIDS after surgery. They are hard on your stomache and can lead to ulcerations in your pouch.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
