My surgery was two weeks ago, not doing deep breathing exercises as I should i am afraid. Was doing better after the first surgery three month ago. I believe having to wear an abdominal binder, and all the compression garments is making harder for me, feeling so constricted all the time.

@lioness rightly suggested that you do your deep breathing exercises. You really want to get the anesthesia out of your system and wake up your lungs! Were you given an inspirometer after surgery? If not, maybe you can call the surgeons office and ask for one. They are really lifesavers. All the compression garments are great but they can work against your lungs. Now that I have finished my nurse lecture, can I ask what your surgery was

@sabina66 You are just a recent surgery . I think you are doing great to be walking that far The compression garments would make it hard to breath . Well when you don't have it on do you do deep breathing? this will certainly help the lungs. The word is patients now it takes the body time to heal don't rush it or you could hurt yourself . Take care
