I had my gallbladder removed laparoscopy last sunday aug.2,2015 it's my 5th day after the surgery.first 2days i was in pain specially the incision they made next to my navel.i can't laugh nor cough that much as it was painful.my stitches are itchy,and today i thought i had a hardtime breathing for a while then try to sit and observed my breathing capacity.then after maybe 20mins.came back to normal.i am scared to have any complications after my surgery as it was my first and hopefully the last.my stomach is growling all the time perhaps coz I'm not having enough food don't want to have upset stomach so i chose to eat little portions only either bread,or rice with soup.my nurse friend says if you feel somethings not right don't hesitate to ask your doctor about it.may god heal us all..thank you..

Hi, I was looking online for answers on this sudden involuntary deep breath after having my gallbladder removed and came across your post. Did you ever get any answers? Did it eventually go away? Thank you

Hello everyone, I had my gallbladder taken out 3 and a half weeks ago and I've been experiencing much of what everyone else is talking about. My shortness of breath changes depending on what I've eaten or drank honestly. It feels like fluid builds up in my abdomen and chest. If I drink just water and watch what I eat, I'm mostly fine although I still dont feel like its normal breathing. Anyone else care to try this and let me know but I press in on my chest and where the gallbladder used to be to try and get the fluid or gas or whatever it is out and then and only then is my breathing normal and I think it would be interesting to see if some of you are relieved that way too.

A week after surgery I went back to the E.R. because I thought it was a heart attack. The shortness of breath was horrible and just back pain in my left chest going into my shoulder and left arm ... not to mention my left arm was going numb. Blood work was good, Heart was perfect and CT scan and X ray showed nothing wrong. The only two possibilities was a blood clot in my lung that worked its way loose and broke up to a safe degree or it was something pushing on my lung to cause pain is what my doc told me.

If anyone is like me, drink water and stay away from soda as well as eat light and watch what you eat. Greasy or fried foods lead to shortness of breath and pain for me every time. If I eat more than the equivelant of a bowl of progresso soup , it leads to pain and shortness of breath. I know it sucks but we just cant eat and drink the way we used to.

Its normal to hurt when breathing because of the air they put it your stomach and your just plain sore.. Its been 3 days for me the pain in my right shoulder and when i take deep breaths is sometimes unbearable so doc is giving me pain meds to control it. But its normal we all just need to take deep breaths be patience n thank god we made it thru.

I'm going through the exact same thing you are. I still don't know what's wrong

I heard it was from the gas they pump in to open up the abdominal cavity. I had mine out less than 24 hours ago and I think I'm going to go to the ER, it is that bad. What happened in your case?

I had mine out two days ago and all day today, with the involuntary deep breaths! They are a quick succession of two, and a bit scary!

I am having the exact intense pain. I can't take deep breaths or yawn. It feels like something will explode under my right rib cage. I'm 6 days out of surgery and this has been for the last two days. Did you find anything out?

I'm 13 days post op. I had all these problems. Extreme pain in my right arm, shape breathtaking pain in my right side. I googled to see what to do. I went and bought gas x and within a hr I had ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN. I felt like a brand new person. I can't believe I've been in so much pain since surgery and one little blue pill was a miracle worker!

That's normal you have to remember your muscles were punctured and need to heal. I had the same problem it will subside as you heal. I was told to take pain meds before it gets bad as a preventative measure
