Where are the 50s ???



Recommended Posts

Hi I am 57 and had the sleeve December 5. I have lost 30 lbs and been stalled and frustrated. Also had a severe case of vertigo last Thursday which might be caused by dehydration. Ever heard of this?

Yes. I got dizzy in the first few months post op. I was careful to get enough fluids so it wasn't that. I think its pretty common post op. Do be careful to get the fluids in. If you are taking blood pressure meds, they should be evaluated again.

Yes be sure you get your fluids in and stick with the program. Its easy to get frustrated so don't get side tracked on your diet, for you its only been December , you are probably losing girth , the weight will come off. I heard that if you shake your head and tilt it to the side it breaks up the salt build up in cochlea which may cause vertigo , I'm not sure on this but i read it somewhere. So I would bring this up to your Doctor. Relax weight will come off

Is 50 the new 150?

I'm not sure.. I thought it was for people in there 50's even if I feel like I'm in my twenties after losing 224lbs

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
