Pneumonia

[DippyDora 0]

I was banded June 9. I was having a lot of pain.I was sent to the hospital for tests and it has been discovered that I have pneumonia. I am on leviquin and was told to walk and try to cough. This is so disheartening.

I am so sorry! I hope that you get feeling better soon!

Were you sick before you got banded? Like with a cold or anything or is this just sudden?

Ugh! What a terrible time to get sick! Good luck for a quick recovery, and take it easy!!

I'm so sorry to hear this. Make sure you get plenty of rest, drink a lot of Water, take all of your meds, and walk as much as you can. Take care. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Good for you Terri. I am glad that you are starting to feel better. Keep up the walking. Congrats on the downward movement of your scale.

Try drinking as much Water as possible because water thins the secretions in the lungs so you can cough it up easier. Hope you are feeling better real soon!
