ryany3131 39 Posted November 3, 2014 I'm one week post op I'm from boone I just have a Hard time breathing yet. Is that common? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amylynns 802 Posted November 6, 2014 Is it like when you try and take a deep breath, everything hurts? That's normal. But if you're short of breath, I don't think that's normal. You want to keep working on the deep breathing the best you can though so you don't get pneumonia. I'm 2 1/2 weeks out and I can deep breath with no pain now.

TheLovelyMissJ 1 Posted September 20, 2015 Wow this is an old thread, but, I'm from Iowa. Just starting my journy, for the second time. I went through the process before, got to month 4 of the 6 month diet and came down with the flu. When the doctor asked me how I've been eating, I stupidly said "I have just been eatting as much as I can keep down" so he wrote that I was noncompliant with the diet. I was devestated. I had lost 10 pounds that month, and with one word, I was put back at the very beginning of the process. I gave up for a very long time, and now I'm back, ready to make the first step. I'm 60 pounds heavier than I was the day of my first consultation with Dr. Glascock in Cedar Falls. I have my appointment with my PCP on friday. I will get my referral then. I also am hoping she will will out month 1 of my 6 month diet forms (I have them all printed out and the long patient history form all filled out) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
