Hello-I am 1-day post-op. Had a very difficult time with anesthesia and breathing after. I am having to use a breathing spirometer...anyone else have to do this?

I have not had any gas pains for which I am thankful but overall just feel terrible...tired, rundown, sore.

Any words of encouragement would greatly help!

I too was banded on the first. My doctor didn't give me the meter thing. I seem to be doing fine. Was up and about the day of surgery. Been walking and doing light stuff around the house. We should keep in touch since we had this done on the same day.

Wow Annie! I certainly commend you on the positive attitude. Thoughts and prayers with you.

Annie,

Let us know how you are doing. I wish you a speedy recovery and lots of pounds lost.

Hi, I had a meter too, no big deal, first two days were hard cause I had a catheter, but then it was easier. Each day was better. I'm 11 days post op and great. But starting to feel the hunger... First fill in 2 weeks. Hang in there, your beginning your new life.
