Right side chest pain with deep breathing.



Recommended Posts

Hey all. I was sleeved April 2nd. I had to stay in the hospital extra day because of a low hemoglobin. Anyways I was discharged on Weds night. I discontinued narcotics Thursday (there's a history there) and have been managing with Tylenol. Saturday (yesterday) I felt really great, actually drove around the block to Walgreens. I was all over my incentive spirometer as well, maybe too much? Now when I take a deep breath I get a pain under my right breast. I sent an email to my Dr's service. But would overdoing the spirometer be a potential reason for the pain? I'm afraid to use it more and further injure myself, but know it's crucial to my recovery.

Anyone else ever experience something similar?

I called Dr said it is an issue maybe right after surgery with your lungs. Need to use that device they gave for breathing

So I did have some chest pain several days after surgery. I had some Fluid build up around my lungs. Probably due to me not using the spirometer. It took about a week for the pain to subside.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
