redlipstick got a reaction from Mdnytangel in Yup. I regret this.Yes advocate for yourself. It's hard when your in pain to keep on top. But you have too.
I agree to see you family doctor also. Keep family doctor informed. For me personally I thought my surgeon knew everything. And that wasn't the case. My family doctor was helpful.
Also is your iron low? Anemic? Ask to see hematologist.
The 1st yr is tough , tougher for some people then others. I do hope you get better. Hang in there. You are strong

redlipstick reacted to FluffyChix in Yup. I regret this.Ok, so then start by adding pink sea salt to all your stuff. I make sure to get in between 1/4-3/4 teaspoon per day and make sure I'm getting 100oz of fluids per day. You can even suck on a pink himalayan salt rock (like the one you grate in a salt grinder)--I measure it out in 1gram portions into a little cup so I know how much sodium I'm getting. Really helps with hypotension.
You can also start drinking some pickle juice, or eating pickles, olives, and pickled veg.

redlipstick reacted to elcee in Yup. I regret this.Have you had your potassium levels checked? Low potassium can cause low BP and make you passout, I know as it happened to me after my band.

redlipstick reacted to froufrou in Yup. I regret this.Do you think maybe it's worth visiting your GP and talking to them about your low blood pressure and maybe talk to them about how you are feeling?

redlipstick reacted to NYJenn in Yup. I regret this.It will absolutely get better. I had a good 2 months where I was throwing up almost every time I ate. Then I had a virus and stalled
For a month. These things happen, it’s part of the process. You have to advocate for yourself, I sat my butt in the surgeons office and wouldn’t leave without and answer.
