I can sooo relate to you. My same surgery was last Friday. I get dizzy and am very weak from the extreme low calories I am consuming.

Hang in there. We will get through this and be better for it.

Welcome to the other side, Bill! The neck and chest pain took me 5 full days to get rid of, but it DID finally go away. Give it a couple more days and see if you feel better. If you are getting short of breath and feeling faint maybe you should slow down--are you doing too much too soon?

That's the laparoscopy gas if you feel it in shoulders..as soon as you pee for 3 times it will be gone.. try to drink your meal slowly.. drink it in 20-30mins or more..Also for fainting, I felt like that too so I took Iv Ringer' solution twice.. once a day till day 6.. it helped me a lot[emoji4]

Get some if the one ounce medicine cups. Drink from them and try to stick to one ounce every 15 minutes. That’s worked for me.
