Had a strange episode before bed last night. Took all my meds as I have been since coming home from surgery on 8/17. I got up from my recliner to use the restroom and attempt to sleep in my bed for the first time since surgery. Felt suddenly sick. Light headed. Dizzy. Tmi..but went to the bathroom with bowel issues. Felt like I was going to pass out right there. Got up to go to bed and could barely push the bathroom door open and passed out over my side table. Hubby was freaking out. Asking if I ate too much. I had eaten 3 oz of my first full liquid meal. I finally laid on the bed and my BP was 99/62 dropped to 88/55 and started there. I didn't move and drifted off to sleep. Woke up at 2p this morning to BP more normal at 110/79. Was a crazy, scary experience. Anyone else experience such? Going to talk to my doc about adjusting meds already.

i adjusted my bp meds due to bp dropping, i went to doctor and she said break them in half, i only take beta blocker the other bp med i just stopped taking. Betablockers you cant just stop taking...you got to wean yourself off of them..Good Luck

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
