I was sleeved on 9/2 - I haven't had any issues at all - except this morning when I woke up and took a deep breath I was super sore at my diaphragm - center (lower area between my breast) - it doesn't hurt - but when I take a deep breath it's sore - I walked a lot yesterday and I'm wondering if I over did it - When I sit straight up I feel a tightness - sorta like a sore tight muscle? Should I call my doctor? I go see him tomorrow for my 2 week follow up - I did have indigestion last night - maybe that is the cause? I took my protonix this morning just in case. Anyone else experience this?

Are you using your incentive spirometer?

No not any longer - I was meeting the max requirement last week so i stopped doing it - I'm not out of breath thought - I took my protonix about an hour ago and it's actually improving now - I guess it was indigestion? Because it's feeling better now thank goodness

My doc said the soreness I was feeling was the hiatal hernia repair he did during WLS.

Are you feeling a soreness or is it a burning? That could tell you whether its from overuse or stomach acid.

But if you have concerns, calling your doctor is the best thing.
