Hello, curious if anyone has had breathing issues after gallbladder removal? I am now about 3 weeks post op and have found that my breathing has been off since the surgery. I found that I have to take various deep breaths throughout the day to feel like I am getting enough air. I called the doctor at about 1 week post op and was told it was due to the gas that was used to bloat my stomach. At my 2 week post op appt I was given the same answer. But I don't feel like it has gotten any better. If anything it feels like its getting worse, however I have been anxious about it, which may contribute to me feeling worse.
