I am 5 days post op and my chest still fills tight and it feels like something is in my throat. I am still on the liquid phase and I have been walking. I have been more hungrier today the rest of the days and still can't get all my Water and Protein in. Not sure what to do at this point.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Always phone your doctor if you are worried. And with tightness in the chest, checking is sensible as not everything which happens to us is band-related!

But this is probably just the after effect of the op. There will still be swelling everywhere which had been affected by the procedure.

Hi! I am 4 days post op and I'm having these exact same issues. How long before the chest pains let up? Did you ever contact your doctor? I'm not sure if this is normal or not.

Thanks

Nia21, everything was fine. I had to drink plenty of fluids - at least much as u can get down and walk more. I noticed the more I walked I felt so much better. I made sure I chewed my food well also. I hope u get to feeling better soon

I'm day 5 posts op and I wish I could chew.... All I am eating is soup and water...disgusting protein shakes.... My tightness is pretty much gone
