Ear pain from alcohol 3-4 months after sleeved?



Recommended Posts

After being sleeved on Dec 3, 2013, my body doesn't process alcohol the same. Please save the "you shouldn't be drinking anyway lectures." If I drink mixed sugary drinks, or even wine a little too fast, my face gets very flushed. Another symptom I now get is a severe pain behind my left ear. Has this happened to anyone else? I have googled the ear pain from alcohol and it points to Hodgkin's Disease so I'm a little worried now. I also have had a small lump the size of a pea about 4 inches below my armpit for about 8 months.

Thanks.

Before being sleeved some drinks would make me get flushed if I touched my face it be hot or id get red Patches. Stop drinking those drinks immediately, doctor told me it's a allergic reaction and your insides swell up and you could stop breathing it's best to take a Benadryl. Pre op I was a big drinker I sticked to what I could drink slowly I started to drink other stuff there's tons of stuff. Your bump definitely get it checked ASAP. Good luck.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
