One week post surgery

Well, it's been one week and thing are quite intresting. Surgery went beautifully, was relaesed the next day as planned. Came home feeling fine but things took a drastic turn the next day. I felt dizzy and my breathing became labored. Talked with surgeons nurse and was given instructions for pain management. No relief. Went to emergency room, discovered my problem was not the band, I had pneumonia. Was placed back in hospital for pulmonary treatment. The staff was excellent. They took the time to work with my lungs and the post surgery diet. Being in the hospital was kinda cheating....I' did'nt have to worry about lab levels, diet, or pain management. I'm home now and felt well enough to drive today. Have lost 11 pounds in one week. Hope this just keeps getting better..
