Gout post op?

One morning I woke up with a real bad pain on both my middle toes and my heal. I thought the pain was from my shoes so I stopped wearing those. But every day the pain is getting worse :/ it's a burning pain on my toes and top of my feet amd ankles. I was reading up on the Internet that it's common with weight loss surgery.. anyone else have this problem? Going to get checked tomorrow

Oh that stinks. Had it pre-op and would not wish it on anyone. Dehydration was my major trigger and you might want to watch that. Just out of curiosity, do you smoke? It was worse for me when I did. Talk to doctor about meds to reduce the acid, but remember to let them know about your sleeve. They will want to do Motrin like drugs (NSAID's) which will be rough on your stomach.

Honestly, yes I just recently started smoking again. Which I know I shouldn't be.. Hopefully I can get meds tomorrow cause this pain is no joke.

I got gout within a month of the sleeve. I do not smoke. I suffered terribly five months, walked with a cane and cried. I was put on the deadly Cocktail of gout meds which hospitalized me. I met with a compound pharmacist who cured me in three days. Eat lots of celery, eat veggies for two weeks, take a combo of capsules of celery seed and tart cherry cap let's or buy the liquid tart cherry juice. Use Tumeric as a condiment like salt and pepper, it is a natural pain and joint healer. It has now been 2 years and no further problems.

Take care and let us know how it goes.

It's gone now thankfully... I had it a few months before surgery.
