got surgery almost 2 years ago



Recommended Posts

Hi i had surgery more then a year and half. I still feel hunger all the time. And then when it comes to wanting to drink I feel to full like I going to make myself sick. Some foods still make me throw up unfortunately so i learned to stay away from acidic foods which is hard I love anything Pasta and pizza. And no I make it the healthy way. lol. Now I make the sauce with more diced tomatoes. I have fainting spells. Sometimes my body feels heavy. I am wondering if this is normal to still have symptoms. I haven't gone to my yearly appointment this july due to the pandemic and now there booked for awhile.

Have your regular PCP run labs to check your Vitamin levels. You may have a deficiency that's causing the fainting. If I can't get in to see the bariatric surgeon (who is an hour and half away btw) then I just call up my PCP. She's ordered labs for me twice already. Some of your symptoms (to me) seem like they'd be caused by a vitamin deficiency or even a malnutrition issue. It's important to find out what's going on so that you don't end up in the hospital if it gets progressively worse. I hope everything works out for you!

Thanks for that. Thankfully I have my annual physical next month. They require blood work before that. So I just called them to include Vitamins.

      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!

      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!!
