Good luck!!!

Tawnya ..how are you feeling?

I feel really good today. I got a lot of cleaning done. I was able to walk on the treadmill for 10mins, tomorrow I plan on going for a walk on this trail by my house. I was able to sleep on my side last night and really don't have any pain. I even coughed today and it wasn't so bad.

Tawnya ..how are you feeling?

I just read that you got banded on the 9th. How are you doing?

Ok so surgy went well... I have very minor shoulder pain and stomach pain! They are working on releasing me this morning ....

Good luck with your recovery! Today is day 5 post-op for me, EVERY day gets better and better!! My advice is walk walk walk and sip sip sip water. Hope everything goes well!

Thanks ! They say dehydration ia easy to get so I'm drinking water and crystal light

I hope your feeling better. I know the first few days are the worst, but it does get better I promise. I don't have any pain anymore, just some breathing issues, but that's just me.

Thanks! I feel a lot better after a shower and a good nights sleep. I still have pain where the port is but its tolerable

It's more like when I get up to do anything I get real winded and its hard to catch my breath. It did get a little better, but then I started using the treadmill and the next day, which was last Friday, I was just sitting down and felt like I really couldn't breath. I kept gasping for air and even tries coughing I used my inhaler thinking it was asthma, even though I have never had an actual attack. My husband came home from work and took me to the ER and they did a bunch of test, one which came back positive for some sort of gases in my blood which means a blood clot so they started treating me with blood thinners and then they did a CT scan which came back with no blood clots in my lungs, which is not to say they are not else where. My oxygen levels were also low so they had me on oxygen, they wanted to send me home with oxygen, but my insurance won't cover it without a specific test. So now I see my physician in the morning to get a referral to a Pulmonologist to see whats going on with my oxygen levels. Sorry that was really long. Did you have a hernia repair? I think the pain from taking a deep breath is normal after surgery especially more if you had a hernia repair.

Omg .... feel better soon! !! Hopefully they find out whats going on.
