Ok so this may be completely unrelated to my sleeve, but I'm 6 days post op and today I have not been able to stop yawning. I'm talking like 20+ times an hour off and on all day. It's almost like I just can't get enough air. Anyone else experienced anything like this??

Are you stressed?

Are you taking your Vitamins?

Your body has been thru heck...a major organ has been severed... It could be telling you to rest a bit more.

Congrats on your surgery! :)

Yes stressed, live next to crazy neighbors and today they threatened my life and I had to call the police. Haven't yet started my Vitamins b/c I didn't have the chewable ones yet and the regular ones were way too big to swallow. I bought chewable vitamins today and so I am just starting that. Just thought it was weird it's lasted all day. Just feel like I can't breathe deep enough. I'm going to use my incentive spirometer as i'm laying in bed and see if that helps any.

Thanks :)

Oh no! That would stress you out for sure!! I hope it gets resolved :(

Yes, start your chewable vitamins especially with all the added stress from your neighbors.

Your hearts not racing is it? You feel okay otherwise?

Definitely do your spirometer. It's worth the hassle. You don't want pneumonia.

I had the exact same thing. Part of it is anxiety, but mostly it was my low Iron. I starting taking iron and Vitamin C together (helps the iron absorb) and it went away. Try it, it'll go away!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
