I'm glad that you are home. Not happy to hear that you are still having difficulty breathing... Your lungs should be clear and you should be breathing normally, by now. I am worried about you. Have you spoken with your doctor about your breathing? It is nothing to take lightly. Especially post surgery.

Pain is different for everyone. Take your meds as needed and walk, as much as you possibly can. Staying active, not letting yourself get stiff and seized up really helps to keep you more comfortable. :)

I felt that way even a month after. In addition to the surgical swelling and irritation, best guess was maybe there was too much Fluid left in from priming the band. It did eventually go away, but now I also know what a fill feels like to me, and the memories post surgery come back. I think I just did not know what to expect- a foreign sensation. Good luck, hope you are on your way to feeling great!

That tight feeling is normal, it is swelling from the surgery. If you had a hernia repair, it will be a bit more intense and last longer. I was swollen and kind of tight for nearly two months. Which was kind of great, I stayed Green for all of that time. :D

I'm gad that you're feeling better and having less pain.

      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!!

      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... :(
