Help - not feeling right



Recommended Posts

I have my first bad cold since my bypass in June 2012.

I got antibiotics for the ear infection and DayQuil for the URI. However something is making me feel like I am on speed. I don't remember driving home yesterday and had to turn around on my way to work today. I am not able to keep much food down as I am throwing things up.

Please help me. I'm not even sure what doctor I should reach out to.

Call your bypass surgeon and let him know what going on. Also DayQuil can make your heart race and make you feel like you are on speed.

I have my first cold since bypass (4/9/12) I have been taking alka seltzer cold and it has helped with the stuffy nose, headache, congestion. I would call you surgeon and see if they can recommend something for you. I would stop taking any cold meds. I hope you feel better :)

My Doc as well told me to stay away from Day/nightQuil products. Told me to stick to Tylenol. They actually have several Tylenol items that have helped me. I also started taking lots of B12 to build my Immune System

Definitely call your surgeon. That sounds dangerous! I too was told no NyQuil or DayQuil. My surgeon recommends Tylenol cold. I hope you get this figured out and start feeling better soon.

BBdoodle: isn't alca seltzer carbonated? Bubbly? My understanding is that is a big no-no. Please check with your md. It could hurt you.

Day quil can do that...also you absorb things differently . Talk to md that prescribed ear infection drug tell him/her.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
