You guys are very helpful,i really appreciate it.Thanks

I dont have shortness of breath now,it was after i woke up form surgery,i tried to take a deep breath and it kind of was painful.Yes they sent me home with a breathing machine.Thak so much for the info.

i am 5 days post op,i could use a pal to help me through the tough times,and questions.This is my first surgery,im 42.I suffer from panic attacks,i get nervous real fast.i could use some support.

I have been using the gas x,it does nothing,i dont have gas pains below,just alot of gas.I guess i was dehydrated,my urine is very dark,i will be drinking more fluids today.My Dr. gave my percocet for the pain,which i mainly take at night so i can lay down without the pain.I still have not moved my bowels,since last thur,the day before surgery,which is probably normal.I have been icing down the port area,which is still sore.

another question is,everyday i get up i have this pain under my rib cage,when i woke up at the hospital i told the nurse,i could not breath very good,and she said that normal,something about my diafram??also when i try to take a deep breath,its very sore.4 days after surgery.??when i lay in bed at night,i can only lay on my right side,or back,when i do get out of bed,im very sore,like someone beat me up.

anyone

Not only do i have gas pains,but also from the other end too,is that normal.Im only urinating two times a day,is that the norm.someone ,please respond,im new to this and i have lots of questions.

Hello i was banded friday may 27,2011.Everytime i drink some water or G2,i get sharp gas pains,is this normal.i have tried the Gas-x but it does not seem to work.I still have the dressings on my surgical sites,when can they come off,and when can i shower.thanks to all in advance.

Anyone?
