  1. Ty everyone God Bless!!!
  2. I went to the doctor yesterday and they took blood and EKG they said if we don't call you then everything is fine. I was relived cause I thought it was, nope. Around 2pm I get a phone call saying I have to go get a CT scan(with contrast)because they wanted to make sure it wasn't a blood clot good forbid. The whole entire time I had my heart in my throat. After I left I was waiting for the bus and the doctor called and I can hear it in his voice and when be told me that there was no blood clot I was crying on the phone thanking him so much and when I got on the bus I was still crying and thanking God for watching out for me again. Always believe and pray to God for once I was lost but now I am found

  10. Hi I'm April I'm 41 from NYC I have a quick question. I am post op 2 weeks (this Thursday), and I have not felt good at all. The main problem is if I go for a short walk my heart rate was 111 compared to last Monday of 115. Can someone please tell what's causing this? I saw on my discharge paperwork that I had altelectasis Pretesting. Since then my stomach is still hurting n I have a horrible rash from the pads on me. I'm trying not to be anxious but I really can use the best info I can get.i also tried to get an emergency appointment with my Dr they couldn't get me one so tomorrow I'm going to City MD to try n get some Help. Ty in advance
  11. I'm post op 1 week tomorrow I wanna go back to the gym soon.
  12. How long after surgery can you wear a corset or shape lifter?
  13. I called my primary Dr and they said that it's from scaring of smoking and bronchitis
  14. The Pretesting said it was found in the chest x-ray on 3/6/19 thats when I went to Pretesting.
  15. Thank You for your advice I really appreciate it, it was found on March 6 day of Pretesting. I'm doing my exercises like clockwork. Ty again you made my anxiety much less now
  16. I had my surgery bon 3/14 finally. I was feeling horrible from the moment I was done. I was in the hospital for an overnight stay. I came home Friday night the first few days have been rough. I am having 50/50 of breathing I'm doing my exercises n monitoring my BP. Come to find out why... No one from Pretesting called me and told me that my left lung had partially collapsed. Aka Atelectasis. I'm trying to get some answers..I'm unhappy with my decision.... On a positive note I am Post Op Day 5... My stitches are healing nicely tho.
  17. Thank you have you heard anyone else having this
