7 Days Out, Weird Ear Question?



Recommended Posts

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? :blink:

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

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
