Woke up at 3am this morning having trouble breathing and wheezing pretty bad and stayed up for an hour after taking my inhaler. Then went back to sleep until 9am and wasn't any better and the place where they cut me for my IVC Filter has gotten infected so I called the doctor and they told me to get to their office or go to the ER so I just came home from going to see the doctor and he send me to get an x-ray of my chest because he says I have to much fluid in my body. He cut open the IVC place and drained it and that hurt without giving me anything to numb me. He's giving me some meds for the infection and another type of inhaler and told me to take 40 mgs of Lasix for a couple of days. So today I really just feel bad all the way around. So hopefully these fluid pills will kick in soon.

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

Cindy - I'm sorry you feel so bad and have had these problems.  I hope that with your new inhaler, meds and Lasix, that you'll be on your way (quickly!) to feeling better soon.

Take care,
Rhonda

(((Cindy,)))

You certainly have had a rough start, but I hope that the worst is over and that you will begin feeling better soon.
