LAP BAND SURGERY COMMUNITY
chest pain

chest pain

My wife has had the lap band procedure twice & not always but sometimes she gets an incredible pain " worse than childbirth" her words.   Nothing short of a visit to the emergency room & narcotic pain meds seem to help.  What could be causing this to happen?  Is there anyone out there having the same experience & are there any other ways to relieve the pain?

I have been having severe sharp pains in the sternum area for about a year and a half now (1st time I thought it was a heart attack) the pain lasts 15 min. to 3 hrs. I have had Upper GI's (4 of them), Ultrasound, I finally had repositioning 8 weeks ago. The pain came back. So now I am having it removed on Monday 9/8/08.

The doctor and I have agreed that either my IBS or my Fibromyalgia are what is causing this.
