Ok today is day 2 post op to be honest I could not resist the urge to stay laying down so I would not have to bend and upset my stomach incisions yesterday. (and besides it was very difficult going from a sitting to laying position) Today I am trying to take on more because I have the kind of job that is really demanding so I only put in for Wends, Thurs, & Friday off so its back to work for me on Monday. I found that the only comfortable way to sleep was in my back but this moring I tried laying on my side because this is how I normally sleep. In a matter of 2 days my emotions have been off the chart. From feeling happy that I have done this to buyers remorse and the reality that this is forever. Ok my emotions are pretty much in check right now. My concern is the fact that I am easily winded. I just searched my closet for my sneakers I figure a brief walk may help and to be honest it feels like a mild case of hyperventilation. I sat down on the bed for a few and used the breathing apparatis the doctor gave me but I am hoping very soon this will pass becuase I don't want to have to experience this at work. Has anybody else experienced this?:nervous

remember to do deep breathing exercies for your lungs to be up to full capacity again....they deflate with the surgery. this is very important to do, or you can end up with pnuemonia. take care, Debbie
