I'm 6 1/2 month post op and yesterday I had some issues. I got severely dizzy and was vomiting and I passed out on my bathroom floor but don't remember any of it. About an hour to a hour and a half I don't remember anything. My husband took me to the ER. I got a bag of fluids and some meds to help with the dizziness and nausea. I felt good besides still being dizzy when we left the ER. Well about 1 this morning it all started again except I remember everything. The ER doctor is passing it off as a inner ear infection but I don't think it is that. Has anyone else ever had an experience like this?? I'm going to my family doctor to start ruling issues out and if everything comes back ok I'm heading to my surgeons office.

I didn't eat yesterday and whatever fluids I drank made me want to throw up. I'm sure some of this is dehydration but I don't think all of it is. So any suggestions I can get to get checked out at my family doctor would be great.

Thanks :)

I told them I think it was dehydration but they looked at me like I was crazy. Considering this is the same hospital that did my surgery....I know why they have a certain building for the wls doctors and why they have certain nurses. After the bag of fluids I felt so much better and came out of the daze I was in. But the nausea and dizziness I still have. I will let ya know what I find out.

I have heard of people having ear issues with these symptoms, but better to be safe than sorry. Be careful driving until this is resolved!!

Good Luck!

It's just dehydration. My ears look great. My doctor laughed when I told her the ER doctor didn't even check my ears. I have been dehydrated many times since surgery but this is the worse ever. Lesson learned. Just glad that's all it is. That scared me.

      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!
