I had lap band surgery on November 20, 2007 and I am having terrible trouble with intermittant pain in the middle of my chest that appears to be a "gas bubble". The pain is excruciating and almost debilitating at times. I have not vomited and am able to eat but very uncomfortably. Has anyone experienced this problem after surgery and do you have a cure for it. The doctor said to take Gas-X which doesn't work. Please help if you can!!!:help:

I had this and it was most likely gas. Gas-x didn't give me much relief either. Try walking a lot. It is good for you and was the only thing that helped me.

God Bless.

That is EXACTLY how I've been since my band surgery on Dec. 3. Dr. finally told me to take Mylanta and it seems to have fixed the problem.....or if not "fixed" improved it dramatically! I have been almost pain free most of the last 3 days. It has felt like "bubble in my right lung" since I came out of surgery.
