Third day home and having weird shortness of breath. A feeling like the stomach has dropped...
Hi all, I am new here. I had my surgery Aug 30, and so far everything has been okay. Besides for last night, I was awoken by a pain. Like it felt like my stomach was creating a collapse on my lung. I couldn't lay down, nor sit up. I guess it could just be residual air that was pumped inside me from the surgery. Also, I haven't been able to make a bowel movement. All in all I am excited to lose weight, but I find myself already scared about future regain.

Definitely call your surgeon to ask about the pain. That doesn't sound normal to me.
If you haven't had a bowel movement yet, you might want to try a stool softened (Colace) or some Miralax to get things moving.
