Short of breath when walking 3 days post lap band removal and R Y N

Initiaaly did you have shortness of breath

Yes but just a little saturation now only ae 92percent

I wish I had sats of 92! That's a good day for me. Are you using the spirometer they gave you at the hospital ( the thing you suck on to make the ball go up) that is very important to get your lungs back working. Also if you have any pain in your legs or red streak up from a sore leg it could be a clot, in which case I'd say go to the ER pronto! Also pneumonia can be a post op issue too so if it continues more than a day or so I'd say contact your surgeon. It could just be from surgery, it is hard on your lungs in general. In any case when in doubt call your surgeon that is what he is there for!

Thank younformthe great reply. Pain is better today on Lortab and breathing ambit better. I have my own oximetry to measure sats
