Hi all..its my day 2 post op. I feel much better today except for a pain that I keep experiencing around my sternum...it lasts for about 8-10 seconds but stops me in my tracks. It feels like I have swallowed something way too big to go down. Then goes away for a minute then comes back again...it may just be gas but I hoped someone else may give me some insight.

It could be gas or acid..if it continues or gets worse you should call your DR

Yep sounds like gas or acid. You can try something like omeprazole or gas-x strips. Walking may also help if it's just gas.
