So... Does any one else have this problem or heard of it? I am 2 months post op tomorrow, and doing great losing weight getting protein in etc. Till 2 weeks ago I woke up at 3 am felt like a elephant was on my chest was having trouble breathing and was very wheezing. (Have history of asthma but haven't had any attacks in at least a decade) well figured it was a fluke maybe change of weather etc. Well Monday night at 2 am I woke up from a deep sleep again with the same problem. Can't breathe elephant on my chest etc. I have heard the Prilosec that they have you on can flair asthma and asthma rescue inhalers can flair gerd like reactions. Does anyone have any clues or recommendations? Thanks ahead of time.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts! I do appreciate it. I may need to make a apt with my PCP but just wanted to see if this was something others experienced or if it was just me. Thank you all!!!!

Misty good for you. Sort of in the same situation you are in but no special needs kids. My only issue w my kid have 3 only 1 severe asthmatic 1 severe ear problems. Nothing like what you go through thought. If you need a friend a ear etc look me up. My husband and I are aplit up after being together 22 years and married 18.5. Been w him longer than I have been without him. But he is also unwilling to work after getting laid off from his job 2 years ago, and when he does do odds and in things to make money spends it on things for himself. Good luck to you. Wish you the best. You deserve much more and if mamas happy the kids will for the most part be happy also.

I also have had issues and more pain than I thought I would have. Normally I breeze through things and pain. Everyone compared this surgery to my gallbladder surgery I breezed through that and was back at work 2 days later. This one the gas I can tell you is awful. The nurse at my hospital said to try and put a washcloth in a ziplock bag wet it (the washrag) and put it in the microwave till it heats up an creates steam. She said to rub it on shoulders etc and it would help to get rid of the gas. Hope this helps you and hope you feel better. They say once we hit the 2 week mark we will have smooth sailing.

I'm gal you are having such a easy go. I was sleeved Friday morning gas was so bad didn't sleep at all Friday night. Discharged Sat afternoon, fighting to keep nausea at bay. I normally bounce back fast after surgeries for this one though seems not so much. I hope you do well after discharge and have no issues.

I have done my psyc eval done my sleep study did the test for the psychologist, went seen the PA for the weight loss surgery now a waiting game. Did my mandatory 6 months at work (to get covered by ins co) have to meet w a nutritionist etc now just ready to get it done!!! Hopefully will hear something soon!!!!

You look wonderful
