A member asked:

I had surgery on wednesday may 1st for hernia repair with the mesh and then on friday may 3 rd and now i am having a heard time breathing.

Call your doctor : Not sure why there were two operations over three days, but trouble breathing could represent a blood clot in the lungs. This is potentially fatal, so you should call your surgeon right now to find out more.

Hard time breathing: Best thing to do is call your doctor who did your surgery.
