Shortness of breath after surgery needs to be addressed right away either with your surgeon or your primary care doctor. It's a must!! liquid stools postop when you're following a liquid diet are ok unless you're getting dehydrated. CALL YOUR DOCTOR please.

I'm glad you were smart enough to do that. A pulmonary embolism is the biggest concern. Keeping fingers crossed that it's only something minor.

Were you given an incentive spirometer to use after surgery? I was instructed to use mine for quite a while post-op.

It's important to make sure our lungs are fully re inflated after surgery.

Yes, it's the "blow thingy". I had one device to blow into every hour and one to vibrate my lungs every hour (so basically using one or the other every 30 minutes).

It's purpose is to make sure you fully inflate your lungs. This helps to prevent pneumonia.

Relax, you get more radiation flying in a plane. It's not too late to do your incentive spirometry. Did you keep it? Try and use it every hour while your awake. If it's been misplaced, take very slow deep breaths to expand your lungs every hour instead.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
