Shortness Of Breath



Recommended Posts

Today I am exactly one week post op. I am feeling pretty good but I noticed I feel winded pretty easily. Like last night taking my kids upstairs and putting them to bed i had to keep stopping to catch my breath. I never had this issue before. Did anyone else feel this after surgery?

Me too. I am a week out and feeling winded after a little exertion. Otherwise I feel pretty darn good! Think we just need to get moving more. I am going to do more this weekend. Try to up my stamina as I am back to work on Monday.

Well you are lucky you took a week off of work. I had my surgery on Thursday and went back to work the following Monday. I dont know what made me think that was enough time! I was miserable up until yesterday. But I feel fine shortness of breath is my only complaint. However, I do think I need to work on my Water intake a little more.

I was tempted to take less time but had the time so said what the heck. Sorry you had to go back so soon. I hope you are getting enough sleep.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
