I actually googled this and found that it was called Pulsatile Tinnitus. I am just so tired all the time. I was never like this after my sleeve!

I'd let your doctors know.. after looking at medical journals this doesn't seem to be much an indicator of anything by itself (other than the annoyance you described), but it can be found in diagnoses regarding the cariovascular system. If you're already being well maintained and are having regular checkups I'd probably not think much of it, but still let them know for it to be on record in case something does come up, or in case they find out something new.

I have the same thing, but strangely enough, it's gotten better since I had surgery. I spoke with a Dr about it and she referred me to an ENT who specializes in inner ear disorders (I still have not gone). I did notice if I have a few days of high-sodium meals it would get worse. I also have vertigo in my R ear.

I once had vertigo.. some of the most miserable weeks in my life. Was the result of a severe inner ear infection. Stand up, walk worse than being drunk.. lie down, room spins and makes me feel sick. Close my eyes, it spins faster. Terrible. I was given some kind of Clavamox or Amoxicillin combo drug that absolutely ran roughshod over my digestive tract as a result.. set off a 1-3 month episode of psoriasis in bad places that I never had before.

Even after it was gone, I had issues riding elevators for months afterwards, would make me feel nauseated. Couldn't even think about theme park rides.. so glad that didn't last too long.

      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!!
