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

I'm sorry your Dr couldn't see you. Hope everything turns out ok at City MD
I am 6 days post op VSG, tomorrow will be my 1 week anniversary. I felt absolutely horrible for the first 72 hours to the point I actually second guessed the surgery. The symptoms slowly but steadily improved. Today I feel almost 100% percent normal except that I'm a little sore still, not hungry and I struggle to drink shakes and water.
My wife's friend had the same procedure and she looked like she was ready to leave the hospital 2 hours after the procedure. No pain no issues nothing. She was back at work the day after she was released.
Everyone is different hopefully as the time passes you will feel better too.

Take as your watchword tomorrow " Greater is He that is within us than He that is in the World." You're God's child, and he will not let you come to harm. ❤Your Friend Frustr8

And I will pray it is something minor, easily fixed and you get to feeling so much better that the post we see will be a Happy?One! I'm a much older person and I hate anyone suffering, even at 41. I'm 73 and have more than my share of battles but I come out on top as a rule and I believe you will too.

Sorry you're not feeling well. Good luck with your doctor appointment tomorrow, I think it's a good idea that you're going to get checked out.

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

Hi everyone I had VSG surgery on 3/14/19 and it was horrible! I regret having this surgery. I winded up seeing that my left lung partially collapsed. My surgeon called me and said I'm fine. I have 50/50 with my breathing I am trying not to be so anxious about this but I can't help it I'm trying everything to get better. Anything I should do then relax? Please help

I would think it depends on if you had laproscpic surgery or conventional surgery, and how tight the garment is. I had laproscpic surgery on February 19th and I put on my spanks one week later. I was very comfortable, but they aren't overly restrictive.

I called my primary Dr and they said that it's from scaring of smoking and bronchitis

Holy crap and they still did surgery!?! I'd be in that surgeon's office every day until they told me specifically what I do to get better AFTER they operated on me with an existing collapsed lung! I'd want pulmonary therapy, drugs, whatevs to make sure I didn't get pneumonia!

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.

You're welcome. I think we all go through a bit of panic or buyers remorse in the first days/weeks post-op and it sure doesn't help if you've had any complications. This one is pretty easily treated. Stay active, do your incentive spirometer and it will pass.

I'm so sorry that this surgery complication happened to you and wish you the best in your recovery.
