Symptoms of something?



Recommended Posts

I am 20 days post-op of having a band to sleeve revision. Last night the weirdest thing happened, it worried my EMT husband, and now that its over I'm a little concerned about it.

This could be unrelated, but it started after I laid down and my left sholder gave me a horrible sharp pain, it went away when I wasn't laying on it, but then I started uncontrollably shivering (teeth chattering and everything). My husband had me get up to make sure there wasn't a sholder injury, cause he first thought I was showing symptoms of shock, no injury. Then I laid back down in bed and started crying hard, and I couldn't help it. I wasn't in pain at that time,no reason for the crying.

My husband started asking me about my food intake for the day and with it being Christmas I didn't keep count of my Protein so he had me go drink a glass of chocolate milk. By the time it took me to drink it, my body had calmed down and the shivering was minimal and the crying over.

I went stright to bed and went straight to sleep (again, unusally)

Anyone out there experiance something like this?

Could be something to do with your vagus nerve. It is a huge nerve that runs along the spine. It controls a lot of things and is near the stomach. It can get irritated. It is why some people get hiccups or sneeze when they get too full post-op and it is why men throw up after being kicked in the testicles. It is also the thing that is actually sore when you get the gas pain in your shoulder. Your vagus nerve can refer pain there.

Also you can get quite cold when losing weight rapidly, and the holidays are stressful and emotional. Keep an eye on how you are feeling and contact your surgeon if you feel strange. It's better to be safe than sorry.

I used to get hiccups all the time when I got to full before I was sleeved! I never knew why. How interesting, thanks for that info.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
