shortness of breath

[lapband4meNOW 0]

Anyone get a little short of breath after eating? I think I might of had too much and maybe that is why I am all of the sudden feeling the need to yawn repeatedly and try to keep a deep breath but doesnt feel like I get the full breath. I am using my spirometer still. When I lean over and extend my arms that seems to allow a deeper breath.

I think you should call your Dr. because this is not a place to rule out possible heart problems, as shortness of breath is one of the signs of heart trouble. Please take care.

I would also call your Dr. I know that yawning a lot is from a lack of oxogen. I was told that when I was pregnent. Everytime I would walk around I would yawn the whole time. I was 319 pounds so I was having a problem breathing. You should really get your self checked out. You are probably fine. But it is better to be safe then sorry. Keep us updated.

Hey Guys

I called the doctor on call. Everything was okay. It passed after about an hour or two. Then I was fine. Doc says it was probably because my top pouch was too full. I had probably overeaten. I had thinned garlic mashed potatoes with a little melted cheddar cheese and some sour cream. Even though I whipped it all and thinned it, I think it was a little too much being just 5 days out of surgery. Doc had said if I thinned anything to a shake consistency that it would be okay to eat. Maybe the potatoes thickened up when they got down there? I dont know, I heard some food can expand in your stomach (dont know if that is true). Thanks guys!!!
