  1. Hey everybody. Im kinda new to the forum. In fact I had to figure out how to post my question. Ok I see my doc tomorrow. Im about 6 weeks out. I wonder if Im gonna get a fill tomorrow. I think I need one. Im down about 16 or so since surgery. But Im down a total 46 since my heighest weight. I started at 356 and now Im 310. How or who determines when the fills are due ? Thanks in advance !

    shortness of breath

    Morning all, Im new to this forum and am so grateful to have a forum specifically for the lapband. I had surgery on 7/25. But found myself int he ER on 7.28 due to shortness of breath, tightness in the chest and tingling in my legs. They ruled out a blood clot. Thankfully and told me I had excessive gas (which I knew) and low potassium. Yet they couldnt answer the issue with the shortness of breath which I still have. I visite my surgeon yesterday and strangely enough he told me to go back to the ER if it continues. He suggested it could be anxiety of some sort. But I want to know how many of you experienced this at all ? Im starting to wonder a bit or otherwise I feel great. Just a little port site...but that's coming along day by day. Please :help: Plum

    shortness of breath

    Thanks so much for your replies. I wasnt given a lung scan. But I was given a chest x-ray and a CT scan. There may be some truth to this being psycho-emotional as well. I think Im afraid to deep breath because of the pain. I have been using my spirometer. I cant get it to go very high...but my PCP told me today to use it as often as possible. Im gonna do that from here on out. Great advice !
