So good to hear from you Nella! I think if you're having trouble breathing from soreness, you probably need to ask for more pain meds. I hope you feel better soon!

Mine is gas. I guess they put air in you or something, but I wasn't passing any of it and it was making it hard to breath and making me sore as all get out. I'm still sore, but I think that's to be expected. I finally started passing the gas and noticed how much better I can cough also

Gas never occurred to me! Duh!! I'm glad your feeling better. ;)

From what I see posted, the gas is really the most uncomfrotable part at first. Glad you are getting some relief. Hang in there.

They pump you full of air to be able to get to things easier. My mom said that was the worst for her. And she is someone who will just deal with the pain. The doctor came in and saw her doubled over in pain and got her some gas ex to help. It is the wonder gas drug. She immediately felt relief.

So frustrated....as ive posted in the past few days ive been having problems aince u had my egd last week ...

So this am i get a call with results from my CT scan yesterday and she tells me i have a hernia and the dr wants to see me tomorrow to talk about it then says ok now dont freak out but you have a nodule on your lungs and need to see a pulmonologist and get a CT of my lungs so first i freaked out then called to see pulmonologist and went and saw him today and he scheduled me for CT and PFT next Wednesday and said the risk that my nodule is cancer is a low risk but i will have to be checked for at least 2 yrs but then he said i might have to postpone surgery if my nightcough doesn't go away!

You just don't get a break! The hernia can be fixed during surgery, I have one and my surgeon says that they usually go away when they tug on the stomach during surgery. The module on the lung sounds scary, but the low risk of cancer is good news. Hope the tests go good on wed and that your surgery will be on time. Sucks to have the thought of a delay, but hang in there and be tough! Thinking of you! Keep s posted!

I had my pft while sick with a horrendous cold. If your still coughing tell them your getting over a cold they should help you to get a clearer reading. It mite be a pain cuz you have to repeat parts of the test but its worth not having to go back.

I just got my pulmonary clearance last week. I was glad for the chest X-ray and pft. They finally figured out why the common cold kicks me on my bumm!

How long have you been waiting? Have you called insurance to see what the hold up is?

Jessica' date=' SD 4-11-13 follow me on Twitter: and Instagram: @skinnyjess2013[/quote']

Honestly, I probably haven't been waiting very long.I started the process in mid January and had first official visit in February to the surgeon. Everything was turned in on the 14th of March, but Dr. office didn't open up a case with the insurance company until the 22nd of March. They have 15 days to deny or approve.

It's like watching a pot boil....it just seems to take so much longer. I am just so ready to get a date on the calendar. I feel like everything else is on hold until I have a date..

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
