Post op Hour 18
Hi, had my VSG 5/19 and I'm also a shallow breather. Just make sure to do the breathing exercises, I didnt. Biggest part of my post op was a lung issue, my surgery was fine. I could have avoided these issues if I continued to do breathing exercises and walk. 7 weeks later and I no longer need inhaler, so please keep deep breathing, and you'll be fine.

Traditionally I'm not a shallow breather and became more pronounced after surgery which they told me might happen.
