I got my band this morning with a slight complication

I got my band. In all it was a very easy process. The only problem I am having is my left lung partially collapsed at the bottom due to a cough I had they said. Its very hard to breath so they are having me stay overnight to watch my oxygen. It's around 89 until I they have me take deep breaths. The surgery was a cake walk. It's my breathing that is really hard. They are concerned it could turn into pneumonia. :(

Hope you're feeling better very soon and you don't get pneumonia. Glad to hear the surgery wasn't bad. My surgery is going to be on 11-11-11. Just hoping I stay healthy until then so I don't have to postpone the surgery. Good luck.

Ouch! I hope you're doing better in the morning! /P2P

In Germany, 11-11 is the beginning of Fashing and things that happen on that day

are lucky.

Hope you're feeling better an resting at home.

Be careful. Praying for you.

My breathing is getting better. Thanks for the prayers. I bet this surgery would have been a piece of cake had I not have the lung problems. I feel like I want to eat, but just clear liquids for me.

Sorry you are having that kind of problem. Praying it clears up quickly.

Hope your breathing issues clear up quickly

I hope you are feeling better and heal well. Did they send you home with the breathing thing?
