So I never had it before I think idk. So I'm having chest pain almost like shock and then it goes to my back then back to the front and rolls to my stomach area (the pain) but I'm not pooping it just stops. It's hurts awful. It started at 8 lasted no more then 3 minutes. Like 930 it started but I walked around and it went away. Now 1030 it happened again. Around 10.00 I did poop. But don't have the urge to again.

Dumping or should I go to the hospital. I just don't want to waste a trip if it's something that will go away ya know?

I had very crushing chest pain for the first week post op. My surgeon told me it was esophageal spasms and they would end. They did, but I was convinced I was dying at the time. Could itbe the same thing? If you are concerned, I always advocate calling your surgeons office.

possibly. No clue but I know if it continues I will go to the hospital because I do feel like I'm dieing lol

Did you find out what this is? I'm having the same issue. I had this for the first 2 weeks post surgery but then it stoped. Now im 5 months post op and having it again.

I was given ranitidine on friday which helped, and as long as i took it first thing in the morning and before eating i was ok. but now not even that is working.

Never found out it happened probably like 4-5 times then I just slept it off and woke up fine. I feel like it happened because I ate like crap all day but I have zero clue what it was. Sorry hope you find out

I was under the impression that the dumping was diarrhea right after eating

Me too but it felt like I had to but nothing ever came out

Sounds like gallbladder

My surgeon said that dumping syndrome only occurred in bypass patients. He was pretty clear on that.

I agree with Yoga-Lady. What you described are the symptoms I had when I had gallstones.

My dr said the symptoms i had were definetly esophageal spasms but she also thinks I have a second issue with my gallbladder. I was given double the dose of prescription strength omeprezole, carafate, and ranitidine to take daily. And nitro glycerin for the bad spasms. So far it's not working but I'm told to give it 2 months.

Surgeon was useless, so at least I know he doesn't think the symptoms are a leak or anything sleeve related.

Please keep us updated on your progress. I'd love to know what other drs do about it.

Oh no I hope you feel beter! After this I never had these symptoms again so maybe it was high sodium. Not sure tho but can't complain now
