Hey guys! I am 4 days post op and as of last night I've been having g really bad chest pains. My hearts (or what seems to be my heart) feels very crampy and my collar bone as well. I thought I was starting to feel better until that happened. Started around 2am and hasn't stopped. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it the gas? I'm a little worried to be honest

Hi Shantel, I had surgery on Monday. I felt the same way you did. Today's the first day I'm feeling better. Stay hopeful and take your pain meds. I really think that's what helped me. It relaxed my body so much.

It's the gas.. dealing with it too. worst part as far as I can tell

Well, that is something I haven't been doing... not since Wednesday. Guess I will try taking some and see if that helps.

I'm going through it now to my surgery was May 6 th .. I've been walking and nothing is making it move... Gas x helps some but I hope it goes away very soon... Good luck and hope u feel better soon

Thanks everyone. Makes me feel alot better knowing I am not alone! Good luck to you all!!

I am also a 5/6 bandit (ha!) and today is the first day I feel good. I'm experiencing some discomfort on my far left side that comes and goes. I just assume it is part of it. I have been off pain Meds for 2 days now. Gas pain is the worst. Gasx strips helped me the most, as did walking around very slowly.

Gasx strips didn't help me, because the chest pain gas wasn't in my gastrointestinal system but from the surgery. Walking plus a heat pad helped the most. Every now and then is have my husband give me a few swift but not too hard karate chops to the back and it helped.

Thanks everyone. I was feeling pretty bloated all day today. Decided to get on the elliptical for a few minutes, and go over a few bumps in the road when I was driving lol. Actually helped. I feel much better now! Good luck everyone
