Has anyone had relief with asthma & copd after vs?

[#9grammy 274]

Yes, I have. I lost 50 pounds and had great relief, I still have sob upon exercertion but the breathing at rest is much better. I can do do more housework and walking than I did, I'm still on O2 at night but during day only as needed.

sorry you have been going though such a hard time

it would be helpful if your family supported you

maybe as time passes, they will be there more for you

@@#9grammy lost 50 lbs (congratz) said that as she lost weight the above problems (and probably others too) have improved

as i was loosing weight, GOAL

i got rid of my diabetes meds, high blood pressure, CPAP too

your health issues will improve or be gone totally

i was 57 years OLD (like you) when i had surgery

now i am 61 years YOUNG

only in America

good luck
