Stress, newly sleeved



Recommended Posts

I need help, please. I was sleeved 6 weeks ago. My husband of 16 years passed away Saturday. I'm feeling very dizzy and lightheaded this morning. Makes me nervous to get out of chair. I've been drinking, of course not near 64oz. Eating, but not as much as I should. Urinating normally. Any suggestions? Thank you

First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure there are a million reasons you are dizzy and lightheaded. You might be dehydrated so push the fluids, maybe get yourself a Protein shake too.

I'm guessing that you have 1,000 things to attend to today, but maybe check in with your doctor when you can.

Again, so so sorry.

I haven't been sleeved yet so I really can't give you feedback as to why you're not feeling well, but I just wanted to give you my condolences.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what you must be feeling. Taking care of yourself needs to be a priority and I suspect you do not have the emotional energy to even do that. Do you have friends and family who are with you to encourage and support you? Are you getting any sleep? Obviously drinking and eating what you can is important, but I think resting your mind may be the best thing you can do. Touch base with your doctor about how you are feeling and if you need any medication for sleep and/or anxiety. The other thing that comes to mind is to make sure you have someone to talk to, whether that be a professional or friends or family. Again, I am so sorry for your enormous loss. Take care and peace to you.

I'm sorry for your loss. Stress w the sleeve isn't a good mix at all. Stay hydrated and pls try to get soft foods down like Soup if possible.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
