Gallbladder Surgery 11 Months After Sleeved! Question?

[PJ713 1]

On September 11th I had my gallbladder removed. They were able to do it laproscopic, my question is 3 days later I have been short of breath and wheezing? No other symptoms. I called yesterday and they thought it was the Percoset, so I stopped it and I am still wheezing. I just called again and left a message for my doctor. I did not have this after my sleeve, anyone know what this could be? Is it normal? Thank you for any advice:)

Percocet may take some time to exit the body...if you were having a side effect from that, maybe you still are. You might still have partially collapsed lungs. The treatment for both is deep breathing, coughing, and walking around. You may coincidentally be developing asthma. Even for that...deep breathing and trying to elongate your chest when you are sitting and walking, helps.

Definitely tell the doctor. I'd call daily. Maybe you need a temporary albuterol inhaler....it's a rescue inhaler that we, asthmatics use, and it works well. Drink plenty of Water, too.

I am so sorry that you had to have another surgery. That truly stinks, and I cannot imagine what that must be like, and I pray that I don't need another one...because I could barely get by from the pain of the other one...torture is what it is.

God bless you and keep you safe!

Feel better. What were your symptoms for the gallbladder? I'm having a hida scan this week and might have mine out soon. I'm about 8 months out.

What really leads to having the gall bladder removed? I eat a very high Protein diet and am wondering if this is going to be a problem with the gallbladder eventually. I eat up to 125 gram a day and am about 2.5 months out.

I had several gallbladder attacks. Pain so bad under ur ribs and shoot to ur back, chest and make u feel like u are having a heart attack. The hida scan will only show if ur gallbladder stopped functioning not stones ..the only thing that shows gallstones is the ultrasound. Make them do it. My symptoms were Constipation then it would be bad diarrhea..at first. Then when it got really bad I started with the nausea, vomiting and no appetite. I was like that for several weeks because I was scared of more doctor bills and being told it was constipation but I insisted on the ultrasound this time and they said it was full of stones and now infected. Had to come out. 39% of people that loose weight rapidly get stones. Especially weight loss surgery patients but I don't know why it happens and I don't think it has anything to do with what u eat because I eat extremely healthy. I was miserable for months and so disgusted my doctor took so long to diagnose me.
