I’m feeling much better; however I will go next week to a cardiologist and a pulmonary doc. just to make sure.

So, thank you SADES for calming me down that it can go away just as it came…

No problem, happy to help. Glad to hear you're feeling better. Let me know how you go with the cardiologist.

All went ok with the cardiologist; I think the whole thing was because I drank too much milk :). Some days I still get the shortness of breath, but generally I’m ok. I still got to do a stress test, but I’m better, I’m not in a rush.

I have now 2.25 cc in my band (2 dr. visits) and still eat like a p**g. What would be the right amount to start feeling restrictions? Could it be that the dr. doesn’t give me too much on purpose so I have to come in again and she would get paid every time I come in?

Glad to hear all went well with the cardiologist, at least you can move forward without fear now.

My dr put 2cc, then 3cc as my first 2 fills. Then from there it's been 1cc then .5cc each time. 2.25cc seems a slow start but I guess each dr works differently. I would ask for a bigger fill next time you go because if you have a 10cc band you can go to 5 or 6cc without too much restriction. Money could be a factor with your dr or he just may be cautious. You can only ask. Good luck!
