I have anxiety issues and since my surgery I’ve had horrible anxiety ATTACKS. Countless trips to ER because I feel like im dying. It’s awful….

I’m so sorry you’re going through it too. It is awful .. my memory is another messed up thing cause of it. I’m always like, did I really do that thing just now?

I have anxiety issues anyway, and take supplements (ashwagandha and an L-theanine/GABA combo) for it. But you might want to make an appointment with a psychiatrist, because they're dab hands at fixing anxiety and dissociation, rather than relying on hospital tests.

The last two years have been insanely hard on everyone so it's no surprise that mental health care is becoming more urgent. Just take care of yourself.

I should’ve mentioned that I take those supplements too. Ashwagandha ksm66 , L-Theanine along with a Serotonin “brain food” that has Niacin, Zinc, L-Tryptophan.
but I’m definitely going to see the main experts with an appointment soon. I just wanted to see if anyone else had this issue.

It’s going to be 2 years post op for me in Jan next year..
I’ve been doing good when it comes to my Vitamins, nutrients, Protein overall food intake. (or so I think)
I have been dealing with dissociation and anxiety like crazy for a few months and have even gone to the hospital to see how I’m doing. All the tests i’ve gotten back have been nothing but positive and clear… yet I keep leaving my body with blank mind mumbling nonsense, constantly over emotional, and am tired of this feeling of regret.
I would love to know if anyone else is dealing or has dealt with this before? before or after surgery. It’s only been extreme after my surgery.. thank you to whoever has some advice.

Omg. Shame on you people for being so nasty. You all are acting like she is lying and your trying to play detective. That’s just horrible!! As if she isn’t stressed out enough. Sorry Celeste97 that your going through this. It will get better in time. My friend had similar experiences to you. She’s a year post op now and doing great. I’ve been lucky to have no issue at 8 months out. Hang in there. Take it day by day and ignore the negativity ❤️

Thankyou!!! You honestly took the words right out my mouth lol was stressed out in the hospital and have people investigating me online. It’s ridiculous they act like it’s a miracle that I started doing better while getting treatment. but I’m glad you are both doing great!! that’s amazing to hear. I’ve been doing good and pray it stays this way ❤️ ty again

Wow, I am sorry people are being so grouchy with you! I had the same situation happen.. had to go to the ER twice upper EGD and IV treatments sometimes two times a week. I know your struggle and it does get better.. the best advice my doctor gave me was.... it sucks but if you don't make yourself drink and eat you will be coming here every week. Slowly I recovered... give yourself that rest and go slowly.. Soup worked for me. Trust me it is for sure worth it!!

Lol I don’t pay attention to nonsense but thank you for understanding. Ive been doing real good though thank god Im finally feeling “normal” I just needed some more time and found what worked for me. I’m glad you’re recovery is going good!! pray it remains that way :)

Hole up swole up..... you need to unknot your big girl panties and take the advice YOU ASKED FOR.... Maybe YOU need to learn how to structure a sentence so that people understand your complaining better.... You said what you said...

Your sounding like an immature whiner..... who's not getting there way and now your stomping and yelling... get up off the floor and grow up.

Ma’am I don’t see where I’ve “asked” . I simply put updates up on how I’m feeling and people give tips which I’m grateful for. I know exactly how to structure a sentence AND spell correctly. I’m not going any further with you because I know where I stand. Thank you

I threw up and dry heaved for weeks! Sometimes I could keep down a little Water if I put lime in it. And oddly enough sometimes I could take a few bite of refried Beans. My potassium got super low as well and I sipped/drank orange juice. Hope this helps!

I did the same with lemon and ginger! and it helped the nausea :) & I still have yet to try refried Beans so thankyou for the tip!

how could the test be complete if you threw up the contrast? And if you threw it up... why did the dr say you are ok? I'm just a bit confused.

Is anyone else reading the contradictions?

The swallow study was to see if there were any leaks , or obstructions. There were none so the test was complete. I didn’t say I threw up the contrast right then and there in the room that’s why I’m upset that people are coming at me. I was nauseous and gagged all the way back to my room. I then threw up. I hope this was dumbed down enough.

I’m glad to hear your swallow test came back great and you are starting to cope with your new normal. It’s not easy and I know that. I couldn’t find too many people to relate to who took long to recover so I can understand you feeling in the dark and fed up.

Hopefully now you are able to keep something down, no matter what it is. Everyone’s body reacts differently. Try to find something you can tolerate and stick with it. For me it was watermelon for 3 months... why? Idk. It was the only thing that I was able to keep down and kept me hydrated.

Good luck and keep remembering that eventually you will see a light at the end of the tunnel. ❤️

I followed you if you ever wanna just chitchat about the ups n downs lol , I’m glad things have been great on your part. I should try watermelons again and see how I like em now. Oranges have been my go to and i feel more positive this time around.

So... has the issue been solved/fixed?

As of now, yes.

Very helpful yet puts words into others mouths and lies. Sure thing. Anyways, I’m home and trying my best to keep my Vitamins and nutrients up. The hardest thing to keep up was potassium.

This can’t be real. I don’t even know you to dislike you, I just didn’t like the way you worded things as if you were some sort of detective. Maybe I should’ve went into full detail for you I just don’t see why it’s so important. and please don’t say things like “throw up into the radiologists face” thats ridiculous.

Cry me a river I see the kind of person you are through your replies. Yes I drank two sips of the contrast and yes it was horrible and I didn’t keep it down.

did i not just say I keep throwing up?

Just had another swallow test , and once again everything is clear and “beautiful” as my doctor said. No one seems to understand why I keep throwing up but I’m back down to stage 3 with food. I don’t really wanna go home just yet if this is gonna continue

Girl, I feel you! I went through hell and back after I had surgery. My recovery was awful. I couldn't drink Water, I would throw up after I tried a Protein Shake, and i wasn't keeping anything else down. I ended up getting super dehydrated and I had to get IV fluids. I instantly felt regret and kept asking myself why the hell I did it in the first place.

It took me 3 months to recover and feel somewhat normal. Do I regret my decision now? No, not at all. I would go through it all over again. Just hang in there and listen to your body and know it will go away soon and you will be back to normal.

I honestly needed to hear that , like finally someone who gets it! it’s been super rough this is my 4th time getting admitted. but i’ve gotten fluids 3 other times and have just gone home. I’m 2 months out and knowing it took you 3 has got me like oh my lord but i’m sticking it out. can’t wait to be out this feeling

Thank you I’m really trying . & yes i have multiple times but there’s just nothing to do but always end up at stage 1 and get fluids at the hospital

I’m back in the hospital. I tried to avoid coming here for the longest for obvious reasons. I’ve been in the waiting room for 3 hours, I’m super dehydrated but every time I drink Water I gag/regurgitate and it’s only 3 sips each time. I honestly hate how I’m living right now and I regret my surgery w every bone in my body. I wish I never did it and there’s nothing I can do but basically suffer. I also started getting really bad panic attacks and that’s another reason i’m just fed up with all of this. I pray things turn around before I go insane.

My smells changed too, so it’s been really hard to eat anything. Now with this virus going around does anyone think canned fruit are ok ? or are they a no no?

true dumping is a lot more common in bypass patients than in sleeve patients, and it's usually caused by eating too much sugar. I've heard of some situations where RNY'ers will dump on fruit, but it's usually things like cake and Cookies.

Makes sense, I actually can’t stand Desserts now so i think i’m safe. I’m really into the fruity flavors I was just scared they would mess my stomach up. I’m not good with intake so I stop after an ounce just to be safe

My nutritionist told me that most people don't dump eating fresh fruit because of the Fiber it has. She also suggested eating fruit and Protein together, like apple and Peanut Butter or an orange and some string cheese.

Awesome , thank you! my nutritionist acts like everyone’s a kardashian so i needed to read that
