I'm new to this form. I saw my bariatric doctor yesterday. All my test were normal but for some reason I am experiencing high blood pressure again! I haven't had any problems with it for almost 3 years now. I was told that I will be scheduled to see my surgeon in about 2 wks. Hopefully I will be able to get this blood pressure under control by then! I am 62yrs old and I am otherwise in good healthy & excercise regularly.

Hello Cassiegirl

No I understand that's normal after surgery.

I was with my daughter who had her surgery 2 months ago & she was very gassy! I had to burp her like I use to do when she was a baby

Thanks! I figured out I was drinking too fast, trying to talk while I was drinking, and I kept shaking the Protein Drink before I sipped so I was sipping air bubbles. I knew I had to be doing something wrong LOL
I'm still gassy but it doesn't hurt.

Hello - I had surgery on 6/27/2017. However, I ran into some complications. Damage to vocal cords - still can't talk, see an ENT July 19. Taking antibiotics for ear infection that just came out of the blue. Then when they took took my drainage tube out on July 3rd, the next day my abdominal wounds started getting red. I am now on antibiotics for wound infection. Definitely not what I planned when getting this surgery, but still think in the long run it will be worth it.

Weight:

5/1/17 on first appointment: 330
6/1/17 - 321
6/27/17 - Date of surgery - 314
7/6/7 - 308

      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!!
