Im 3 months out and passed out last night heading for the bathroom. I went today for blood work thinking but might be low Iron or potassium. I've been getting a little dizzy when standing up last couple weeks. I've been getting in my fluids and been eating well. Has anyone had experience with this?

Dr Vohra is my surgeon too. My surgery was 11/20 and I haven't had any complications at all. As of today I'm 61 pounds down. -

does water make you feel yucky?
redheadmom1103 replied to steelergirl's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I had a problem with water too. It took about a month and a half after surgery to be able to drink it again without being nauseous. I did find that herbal tea worked well instead. I liked the celestial seasons cranberry apple flavor. Either warm or cold it went down with no problem. -

Nausea and hiccups
redheadmom1103 replied to GSUMayo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm just over 3 weeks out from my surgery and I get the hiccups all the time too. Fortunately they don't hurt but it seems like every time I drink I get them. Hope they don't last for long. Congrats on the 20 pound loss! -
Long Island Sleevers?!?
redheadmom1103 replied to antbarrella's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm on long island too. Was sleeved november 20th at Nassau communities hospital in Oceanside. -
I know how you feel. I was sleeved 15 days ago and am so sick of protein shakes and soup broth. My dr has me in this stage for 4 to 5 weeks before even starting creamed soups and cottage cheese. I just take it 1 day at a time. It's not easy though....

Tomorrow is 1 week out for me and went to the DMV to get my license renewed. Even though I sat most of the time waiting (2 hours). I was still wiped out . Listen to your body and rest when it needs you to . -

My surgery is Tuesday and I've been getting together what I think I'll need for my stay. Gas x strips, mouth spray, extension cord for cell charger, besides the normal toiletries. Am I forgetting anything? -

I've researched the sleeve over 2 years and finally decided to go for it. I've got total support from friends at work but my 17 year old daughter is totally against it. Any advice from anyone with a similar situation?

Thanks for sharing that. I got a really good feeling about him and his staff but it's always good to hear about other people's experiences. Sent from my iPhone using VST
