I am 5 weeks post op and two nights ago I rolled on to my stomach while sleeping. I have been feeling a bit off since that time. I have soreness in my abdomen, I almost feel as though I have a mild reflux situation occurring.

I have also experienced random shortness of breath and dizziness and I am very fatigued mid-day.

I admittedly need to make a more concentrated effort to get all 64 oz of Fluid in each day, I am just a little concerned about how I have been feeling.

I saw my surgeon Monday but was feeling perfectly fine at that time. I'd like to avoid over-reacting as well as under-reacting.

Has anyone experienced any of these things?

Might be acid reflux. Do you take a ppi? I've been going crazy not being able to sleep on my side, can't imagine sleeping on my stomach with my acid reflux. I've been very short of breath too,nsomething I've never had much of a problem with. Follow up in a week and a half I'm going to ask why.

Up your Water intake, for sure. Call your doctor on Monday about the pain, but it's probably just a slightly pulled stitch. If the pain were severe, I'm betting you'd already be at the ER.

The dizziness is probably related to dehydration. If you keep getting dizzy, you may need to call your doctor or hit the ER for some IV fluids.
