Hi all, I am 6 months post op. Im down more than 60lbs. I had an amazing surgeon, no pain after the surgery. I take all my Vitamins and eat as healthy as possible. About 1 month ago I got severe pain in my chest. Behind my chestbone. It felt like explosions going off inside my body. I seriously thought i was having a heart attack. My husband called the ambulance and by the time we reached the hospital, the pain was gone. All my blood came back normal, ekg was normal too. They sent me home and told me to follow up with my Dr. The area where i felt the pain remained sore for a few days.

2 weeks later it happened again. Same thing, the pain lasted for 45mins, went away and area remained sore.

After the second time, it happened 2 more times 1 week apart. Im starting to get depressed because i have to my surgeon, gastro, pcp and nobody is giving me any answers. Im tired of being scared to leave my hoise or be alone with my 1yr old because i dont know when or why I am getting this pain. It is NOT the type of pain you can breathe through, this is the type of pain that gets me on the floor, sweating, crying and paralyzed in agony. Im tired of going to the ER and having all the drs and rns look at me like i might be making this up to get pain meds.

Has anyone gone through this?? I need someone to help me.

I had my gallbladder removed prior to the surgery so it can not be related. I dint take any meds.

1 theory I have is that it might be esophogeal spasms. But my surgeon and gastro have shot this down. They all say the same thing, i have to go through tests while im having the pain but that seems impossible to me. Im so scared and depressed. If you or anyone you know has had a similar experience please please please share any info you have

Thanks

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
