Of course I might just be over thinking everything because I'm a paranoid freak BUT I have been having some "symptoms" recently and I'm not sure if I should worry. I had my surgery a week ago, Nov 5th. and I feel fine for the most part but I notice when I walk straight for more than 10-15 minutes I begin to feel short or breath, dizzy, and EXHAUSTED!! I've been trying to call my doc but it seems because of the holiday nobody is in so any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated! By the way I do admit I can be drinking more water but if I'm not drinking water I make sure to replace it with a Popsicle or other clear liquid... Thank You!

Better safe than sorry. Can you get to urgent care or an emergency room?

I can but thought maybe it was normal??? God, i'd wish my doc answered his phone!!!

I was the same way for about a week. But it started about two weeks out. It turned out im hypoglycemic and had to had sugar to my diet. It added it in the form of orange juice.

Now I don't suggest doing this because your issue could be any matter of things. Drink more and remember you are only 5 days out and could simply be tired and over doing it.

Call your dr and tell the service you'd like a call back ASAP.

Good luck

Yea for sure. I'm trying! I used to love water and now it make me nauseous! I notice it when I Ben down also. This is a lot of getting used too!

Thanks Ms. Perfect and Mr. Smalls! Comforting to the ears!

I had the same and was in pretty good cardio shape pre surgery. I am 10 days out and now can do a three or four mile walk but at day 5 anything much was exhausting!

Doesn't your surgeon have a number to call the on-call doctor? I wouldn't go to urgent care until you get a hold of your doctor. If you feel you need to go to the e.r. my surgeon's office asked that we go back to the hospital we had the surgery at, if that's possible for you. If this has to do with your surgery, going to an urgent care will probably be a waste of time since they aren't familiar with bariatric surgery.

Yea I agree. He don't give me another number. I really want to get some extra rest tonight ad if tomorrow I still feel this way ill make sure to get through to them or my insurance NurseLine. Thanks for the advice!

You sound fine to me. You just had major surgery, take it easy, sip, sip, sip. Have some diluted unsweetened apple juice, it is delicious and may give you some energy(was diet approved for me).
