what is causing this pain

[MADE IT 2 MY GOAL..OH YEAH 0]

OK I am 1 day shy of being 1 week post-op. I having this horrible pain that starts from one side of my chest and goes to the other end of my chest. It kinda feels like it is a little under my ribs but im not totally sure.

I do know that it is a little under my breast. For a few seconds its really bad and then it eases up a little then right back to hurting bad. Today is the first day this has happened. Can someone please advice me on what this is. Is it gas pains or what?

Being as you are only one week post-op, that could really be anything- your port settling in, gas, pain from the muscles in your stomach healing. I would call your surgeon just to see what he/she says, but I wouldn't panic just yet

Thanks for the reply. But, the pain is gone. I'm not sure what it was, but I am thinking it was gas pains.

I'm so glad you're feeling better. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday - 8/26 and I've been reading a lot about the gas pain. It sounds like what I went through after a hernia repair. Nobody warned me about it and I thought I was having a heart attack the first time I stood up.

Pretty scarry but it passed within a couple of hours. I'm having Dr. Lopez Corvala at Hospital Angeles in TJ. Ishi is my facilitator - she's so encouraging. I'll be back in a few days.........
