I had surgery 9 months ago and everything went great. Since then I have had limited weight loss and hardly any restriction. Yesterday I recieved a fill bringing my band to 5.5cc's. Today I began having difficulty breathing. No pain, it just feels like I'm laboring to catch my breath. I have experienced anxiety attacks in the past and the feeling is similar. I called my Dr's office to be sure that it is not related to the band. The nurse said the Dr. was unavailable and that I should go to the ER and have the band deflated as a precautionary measure. It has taken me 9 months to get to 5.5 cc's, I don't want to start over. Has anyone had a similar experience? I'm not sure what to do.:)

Sorry you're having problems but I'm a newbie so I don't have any advice. I'd call the dr.'s offcie back and insist on a call back, though. You deserve the proper attention.

      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! 😞
