I also had surgery 5 days ago. I had trouble breathing and my oxygen was low in the hospital but I kept up with my deep breathing and I feel much better now. Did they give you something to breathe into at the hospital, 10 times per hour? I still do this, and I think it really helps.

try drinking slower. maybe even change the temp. I have to have my water really cold, or I have pains.

hi I am 4 months out and I had terrible pains in my side for the first I'd say month. It was my left side. It finally faded away.. I looked online and I think it was where my pouch sent food into the colon.. I'm thinking my body was just not used to the new path and things had to be stretched a little before the pain away.. but it did go away
