12hrs later.....OMG what a scary thing. I ended up having a ct scan cause they thought I was having a pulmonary embolism.....OMG worst thing to be told...but it was neg, thank the lord, they also did an x-ray to make sure all was in place and that was fine too, ecg and blood work...but in the end, everything was fine. According to the ER MD, she thinks I over did it...because I drove today, did some light house keeping and bathe, washed my hair; I mean I felt great and had the energy, I did not want to just sit around the house all day and do nothing.... who would have thought such reg. activities would have caused this....Boy have I learned my lesson....I am taking it easy...

When I called my surgeon, he said because of my hernia repair, it's possible to have SOB as long as i was not having chest pain or mid back pain....Dr. Coburn and his staff were so supportive, they kept calling me throughout to make sure all was well....Still feeling the SOB, but only on exertion....so I will be taking it easy....lesson for all of you newbies as well....and thank you guys for all your prayers and words of encouragement.

I feel better now that i'm resting....but if I walk too far, take the stairs, drive (i drive a standard)....I start experiencing SOB....So, from now on, i'm avoiding any major movements....but that left shoulder gas need to go away, it made matters worst...I'm so looking forward to the better days.....

I'm so glad you're feeling better! I was so freaked out for you! I'm hoping to have the surgery in Jan. One of my fears is having some sort of blood clot......

Are you taking anything for the gas? I fear the damn gas too!

Oh that horrible gas pain....I don't wish my experience with it on my worst enemy....that's how bad it was for me. Gas x did not help me much, but the heating pad was great until i removed it...what worked for me was taking 10cc o milk of magnesia mixed with 30cc of hot Water...then I started passing gas in the rear end.....but the shoulder pain, heating pad was the only thing that gave me relief...I still have it now, just not as bad as the first 3 days....

but please after your surgery, don't over do it....I learned the hard way....cause I felt energized n good (minus the shoulder gas pain) and thought i can do a little, boy was I wrong....even this morning, brushing my teeth was a challenge....take it real slow specially if they say u had a hernia repair......

good luck on your journey, and I pray u r one of the lucky ones without the gas pain....not everyone gets it, and some not as bad...and funny thing is, I have a high tolerance for pain, but this HORRIBLE....

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
