Shortness of breath

Shortness of breath

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I posted this in the General Lapband forum, but now I think I should have put it in this one.........

I had my 3rd fill on Feb 29th. (6.5 in a 11cc band) Not too long after that I started noticing I have shortness of breath on and off throughout the day. I have very, very little restriction, so I've never thrown up or slimed or had much trouble eating.

The shortness of breath is worrying me...... However - I've had a lot of stress (much more than normal), and I'm wondering if that is what is causing my problem.

I plan on calling my surgeon's office, but was wondering if anyone else ever had shortness of breath after surgery, or after a fill, or within the first few months of surgery?

Thanks,

A band around your stomach has nothing to do with your ability to breathe. I would suggest either calling your doc or 911.
