Am just home from the hospital sleeved on Wednesday. I can hardly get anything down and have a horrible crushing feeling on my chest. Is it gas? What will help? Any idea how long it will hang around?

I was sleeved that sane day. It sounds like gas. Walk, walk, walk! If you can't pass it, do call your surgeon.

I hope you feel better soon!

I had the same feeling post-op for about 5 days. I knew exactly how that guy in Aliens felt as that critter burst out of his chest! The only real cure is time and walking. I wasn't in any kind of shape to walk oustside in the cold last December when I was sleeved, but I did get up and walk around the house. I tried to get in about 20 minutes of total walking time per day and just kept on imporving on that.

I hope your pain goes away quickly,sending you well wishes.

Thank you. It sounds like nothing to really worry about. Thanks for the comments. Everyone is very helpful.

Call your doc just for grins and giggles. None of us are medical professionals- that's why we pay them the big bucks.
