Gas pains in chest

7 Days out and I still wake up with sharp pains in my chest. I know it must be gas, but so uncomfortable. How long before this disappears?

I was sleeved May 6th and it took a little over a week for me.. I walked and walked and walked but it seemed to be stuck . But it finally went away. Good luck and hope you feel better soon. It does get better :)

In about a week it will go away...still it's scary waking up to that pain.

do you still have the drain in? As soon as they took it out my pain went away. It was not gas like i was told.

Try putting some heating pads on the area, I know they helped me a lot!

Be well…

Update on chest pains and suggestions if anyone else is having the same problem.

DR said its mucus that gets caught, causes lightheaded ness, to solve use breathing thingy every two hours. Worked like a charm, although it does come back overnight. This and inactivity cause pneumonia. So keep breathing Sleevers!

I had Gas pain for the first 2 weeks. I quickly found out a lot of my problems were a result of calcium chews. I haven't tried calcium only Suppliments since I figured it out. I am terrified of how it made me feel. But I know I need calcium in addition to my multi vitamin

do you still have a drain in? Once they removed it the pain was gone.

Had surgery May 29th. Not having the pains as much now that I am walking around more. When I do get them it usually beccause I need to drink more, try that
