I am 7 days out from surgery, each evening since day 3, my ears get blocked and pop and crackle. I started taking Sudafed this afternoon so I will see if that helps. Otherwise I am fine, no sinus issues or cold symptoms at all. My voice sounds like I am in a barrel when this happens. I am wondering if this is due to still having extra Fluid that needs to drain from my abdomen, which is still slightly puffy.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I did!! I didn't even connect it to the surgery though.

Since my surgery a week ago, I've had a slightly runny nose... Maybe that's connected too.

I've had a lot of drainage too! I guess its normal.

I got vertigo after my first week post op!! (inner ear infection/fluid in inner ear)

Thank you, my sleevie friends! It's wonderful to be able to ask any question here and get help! I love being a part of this very special community!

How weird! That never happened to me, but I hope for you a speedy recovery and that it isn't long lasting.

Good Luck!

A side effect from flying perhaps?? Altitude changes?

It might be a sinus infection. I got this after the sleeve.

I am experiencing vertigo now. What did you do to treat it? How long did it last? Did you have problems with vertigo pre surgery?

Thank you for your help. I have an appointment with my surgeon next week.
