Question:
I am 3 mnths post op,(open RNY), have lost 68lbs and stairs get me?

I had an easier time climbing them before surgery. I would get out of breath before but now I get very shaky. Does anyone have any suggestions? I walk a mile or more a day and am very active now. Did anyone else have this?    — Sue B. (posted on April 23, 2001)

Hi Sue, I'm also 3 months post-op and have lost 63 lbs. I have trouble with stairs as well. I walk 1.5 miles/day and I still get out of breath when I walk up a flight of stairs and oftentimes am shaky. I don't know what the answer is to this question, but I wanted to let you know that you're not alone.
