Inner Ear Pressure Problems Post-OP?



Recommended Posts

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced fullness and popping sounds in one or both ears since surgery? Seems my right ear has lost its ability to regulate pressure, and I get the fullness, a little bit of hearing loss (not significant but annoying) and an unsteady popping sensation in my ear.

Just curious if this might be an effect of anaesthesia??

I find this happening when I am not getting enough liquids in especially first thing in the morning. Good luck!

That happened to me post op in the hospital but now I'm home and it appears to have resolved itself. Not sure why it happened. I also had some really gross sinus things going on at the hospital. lol

I just noticed this. 5 weeks out, so I'm eating more than before and when I get full my ears pop like on an airplane. It drives me crazy I can't hear for a short time until the fullness goes away. I finally realized what was going on. I hic up and sneeze too sometimes.

      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.

      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!
