Hey Leener,

I'm glad you're OK. Something similar happened to me two winters ago.

I had a chest twinge that turned painful. It was like a cough that wouldn't clear.

So I got X-Rays and apparently some months previous, I coughed enough during a sustained allergy attack to the point that I put a little scar tissue on my lung.

That was 2 years ago, but so far (knock wood) it hasn't resurfaced via a cough or pain (although the inflammation spot is probably still lingering somewhere on my lung.)

So I hope this passes for you too.

Happy Band (and Life) Journeys To All.

oh wow, glad to hear you're ok. anytime I read someone having problems like this makes my heart skip and beat and wonder if Im making the wrong decision - but it wasn't your band, so that is a relief.

If you have had Asthma for any length of time,it's a wonder you don't have more scars - my 19 yr old daughter has had Asthma since she was 2 and has scarred lungs - it's the same as someone else explained above.

Good luck and sending good thoughts your way.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
