Shortness of breath after surgery needs to be addressed right away either with your surgeon or your primary care doctor. It's a must!! liquid stools postop when you're following a liquid diet are ok unless you're getting dehydrated. CALL YOUR DOCTOR please.

Well it was in mexcio and priamery dr is gone so i came to emergency room and i just have to wait xrays next

I'm glad you were smart enough to do that. A pulmonary embolism is the biggest concern. Keeping fingers crossed that it's only something minor.

Were you given an incentive spirometer to use after surgery? I was instructed to use mine for quite a while post-op.

It's important to make sure our lungs are fully re inflated after surgery.

No i wasnt really given anything unless it was a blow thingy¿ i used it like once and they said that was for gas but i didnt have any gas - and i have done much of anything else iam not in pain really and just the breath thing

I feel soo nauseated tho now maybe bc all the xrays and being scars to death! Uh now iam regretting my decison all that money and worry i just want to cry cry cry so bad ;(

Sorry major venting. nOw

Yes, it's the "blow thingy". I had one device to blow into every hour and one to vibrate my lungs every hour (so basically using one or the other every 30 minutes).

It's purpose is to make sure you fully inflate your lungs. This helps to prevent pneumonia.

Er did lots of xrays blood and 4ct scans all wa okay she said

I still feel sooo sick and naseau but no lung clots

This is awful and now iam pumped up a tons of radations i got this surgery to get healthy not die if cancer in 20 years

But on a good note ive lots 10lbs going to the bathroom every hour lol

Relax, you get more radiation flying in a plane. It's not too late to do your incentive spirometry. Did you keep it? Try and use it every hour while your awake. If it's been misplaced, take very slow deep breaths to expand your lungs every hour instead.
