I'm 9 days post op. I can hardly stand for 5 minutes without getting out of breath. I can't take my vitamins, they make me sick. I'm getting all my protein in. Not my water though. I started my period today, maybe that's it? Idk.. I'm wondering if I should go to the hospital... My Bari center is closed today.

I'm certainly no expert but breathing difficulty is so not right, why would this be linked to your period? Go and get yourself checked out. If it is dehydration they can give IV fluids, if it is nothing they can reassure you.

I'm exhausted without doing much physical activity. I can't even do laundry. During my period I feel more tired. That's why I didn't know if it had anything to do with it. I'll see how I'm feeling tonight. Might go get some IV fluids.

I am no expert either but I was like that short walk to the bathroom made me short of breath as well I am 17 days post now and much better

I'd go to the hospital. I bet u need an IV infusion. Once you're not so dehydrated I bet you'll feel better.

That's so weird....on day 9 I was feeling super fatigued and crampy and achy. Almost like I was getting the flu. Still felt off the morning of day 10, but went to work and was feeling normal by the afternoon. Not to say you shouldn't seek help, but it's ironic that was the same day I felt that way.

I have a standing order for IV fluids at a local walk in clinic. I haven't had to use it yet. I was surprised a walk in clinic could give IV fluids. Maybe this would be a good route to avoid an emergency room co-pay if you end up needing fluids.

Feeling better today. Forced down tons of liquids and had my husband pick up gummy vitamins from cvs. I must have been dehydrated and partly malnourished.

Glad to hear you are feeling better.

Thank goodness. I've really been worried as I follow your progress.
