?? For Those Who Were Banded And Had A Hernia Repair

[ufscrapper 8]

Hi everyone!! Thank you for all the thoughts and concerns!! I'm home now. A brief stay in the ER due to elevated D-Dimer test (clot somewhere) but with a CT scan showing no clots in my lungs. I do have Fluid in the lower lobes of my lungs. So I just need to take deeper breaths and get up and move around more which I have been today. )) Onward in this journey is the only place that I'm going. )))

Very good. I am glad everyone is moving along. Lets all stay healthy and beautiful.

Yeap same thing happened to me, the d-dimer was high because of your recent surgery , mine was to but they have to make sure that theres no clots, deep breathes will open up your so called " grapes" in the lungs, best of luck!

Did you have a lot of periods of shortness of breath? It's hard to breath a lot more these days. I'm 6days post op. Any and all advice is appreciated. Thank you.

You should be having a post op visit soon? I had a hiatal hernia repairs, 3 weeks out still have alot of port incision pain but not shortness of breath, only for a few days when in the hospital and had to breath into that plastic tube thing and then coughed up junk, that is all..which was extremely painful But have you tried gas x? I started having gas up top only at first and some burping before the gas below which was maybe after a week post op.
