Im 8 days post op and last few days been feeling very lightheaded and dizzy when i walk ..when sat or laying down im fine. I even get mild pain back of neck and tightness of chest ..all this only when walking
So my doctor wasn’t really too concerned about it …he said there was small amount of bleeding from the surgery and because I had foamy blood vomiting afterwards he just thinks some went to the bowel ..told me if will get better coming few days
i had my gastric sleeve done on 17th October and been fairly ok ever since - few moments of regrets but this is something I needed to do more than wanting to do
Pre surgery I was constantly obsessed with food - I would plan in advance that if I’m going here il eat this and on this day il eat this and so on ..obsessed with takeaways and even had a tiktok channel with all the nice food places I go to etc ..food was my life..I’m 36 and this lifestyle made me diabetic and I still think I’m young and shouldn’t be diabetic. Iv seen peoples lives change for the worse since becoming diabetic and this worried me…this is why I say I did this because I needed to rather than wanting to
i know 4-5 people who have done the surgery and iv seen what they eat after a year..their appetite has gone up more now and rather than losing weight are maintaining it by the food they are eating ..the food they are eating now gives me motivation which is unfortunate that I know this isn’t forever
