jlong007 6 Posted January 16, 2014 Hello all, I finally got my date date for Feb 3. I am a little nervous about the procedure. I just have a couple of questions. For a while now I've been having what I can only call air hunger. I'm constantly yawning to try to get a deep breath in, and sometimes that's a struggle. I've done all sorts of tests and everything came back good. Has anyone ever experienced this before? I am just worried that my air hunger would get in the way of the anesthesia. Thank you, Jorge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jencovi 261 Posted January 16, 2014 Call the surgeon and see if they can answer your question or see if they can get you in touch with the anesthesiologist. I suffered a partially collapsed lung in surgery once and told my surgeon that when he removed my band. The anesthesiologist and I talked before my procedure and he was able to make adjustments to my treatment plan. I had no issue with the band removal. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
