Anyone Get A Bloody Nose??



Recommended Posts

I have a bloody nose. I never had one before. My mom said it could be dry from surgery. It's not draining blood but when I put a tissue in my nose it comes out with blood on it. Very weird? Thanks for any help!

I didn't have a bloody nose related to my surgery. When I do get a bloody nose, it's always because my nasal passages are very dry. Maybe the oxygen they gave you during surgery dried you out.

Thank You patty girl and maddysgram! My nose stopped bleeding but now I am feeling so bloated. Ugh, It could be worse so I am really not complaining, LOL. I have been up and around house a lot today. I think I will do some more laps to get this stomach gas out. Question though, how do you know if your over doing it??

Gosh I hated that bloated feeling. Just know it won't last long.

I just did until I felt tired. As long as you do no heavy lifting or straining, you should be fine. I worked out in my garden 4 days out. Nothing strenuous but walking around outside really helped.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
