Would appreciate advice



Recommended Posts

I am in your exact situation. Highest weight 217. Surgery day weight 200. I had surgery a week ago and have lost about a pound a day so far. I had high blood pressure. I have been having dizzy spell's and checked my blood pressure yesterday and it was very very low. So it's helping already and I need to call my doctor today to adjust my medicine! So far I am ecstatic that I went through with this. I have a long way to go. I need to focus on soft foods which I have not done yet.

Hello,

I had surgery on Thursday. I have been reallly sick. I cannot hold anything down. Blood pressure was 176/110 and a low grade fever. ANY advice?

My doctor's instructions any fever call, or go to ER. Focus on drinking you may become easily dehydrated.

My second night I could not even keep the Tylenol down in the hospital but they still sent me home the next day. I'm not sure what my BP was at that time but I was still on BP meds. I would continue to sip liquids, as EW mentioned but if you are really worried, call the nurse just to be safe. We can offer advice based on our experience but only you and your Dr know what's best for your health. Please keep us posted. Feel better soon. 💐

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
