I was sleeved on 12/18/12 and ive lost 60 pounds.

Hello! I had an incident today that proved to me that I need to eat!! at least eat more often...even if it is just little bites. I was at petco with my aunt, started feeling nauseated...next thing you know I am starting to pass out. I was dizzy, blurry vision, my legs were giving out..I wanted to sit down, but didn't have a chair. My aunt was trying to hold me up while yelling for help so they brought a chair over real quick. I seriously thought I was gonna faint onto the floor. It was the weirdest feeling ever. Once I sat down, I felt better and eventually it passed. Moral of the story, You gotta eat! To keep up your strength and your blood sugar, even if you aren't diabetic. I know it hurts to eat, I went through the same thing. I hope your stomach heals up soon! :-)

I had an episode today...was at petco with my aunt and started feeling very nauseas, got really dizzy like all the blood rushing from my face, everything was blurry, my left ear was ringing, I could feel my legs giving out, I was trying to hold on to something to not fall on the ground. my aunt was trying to hold me up as she was yelling for help. i could feel everything swirling around me. I started passing out...and finally I started coming to and asked for a chair to sit in...and I started feeling better. She ran and got me something to drink with sugar and i sipped on it while they called EMS. By the time EMS came I was back to normal. THey checked my BP and it was 100/70 which is low. It was probably even lower! I am sure that my blood sugar had dropped cuz this episode happened in an instant. Ive never felt anything like this before...has anyone had this done since surgery? I am sure that I will have to eat more frequent small bites now just to keep my sugar in check. Ughh! :-(

Is it ok to take sleeping pills after having the gastric sleeve? I normally take unisom.

I'm always cold now even when it's warm outside. I live in Texas but from Washington state so I'm used to the cold weather but being in Texas I'm always hot. Now I'm always cold... I wear a jacket, socks, slippers everything around the house lol.

my dr gave me loretab for pain. I havent had a bm yet, but lots of gas and bloating.

I am 4 days post op and still having pain issues. Im also having gas problems too lol. I was wondering ifyou know if I can take motrin over tylenol?

Hey all, I am 4 days post op...and was wondering how everyone is dealing with the pain? I am still experiencing sever pain on my right side where they took my stomach out. I am to the point of crying, and just wondering when it will ease up. I still have to take the pain meds that the dr prescribed. What is the normal time frame for when the pain eases up? I keep hearing a week from some friends that have done it, but I was wondering. Please help! Christina

They gave me loretab for pain...I have been taking it less each day but it still hurts when im standing or walking.
