I had surgery last friday 4/12. I have been feeling a little dizzy. On Tuesday my chest was hurting. I am still sore. (Some people I talked to was back to normal after 2 days). Anyone else have these experiences??

Honestly I get dizzy every time I am on liquids. If you are really worried you should call your doctor. Hope you feel better.

well it is major surgery and they cut you open and stuff so its gonna hurt...and if they did a hernia repair (as they did me) it hurts to take deep breaths......but it does get better as each day that passes..def agree with kathy about keeping your liquids up....sip and sip and sip some more.....but like hel, if you are dizzy or overly concerned, absolutely call your dr and let them know what is going on.....just hearing a nurse and or dr say (its gonna be okay) is a relief sometimes. hang in there.

Hmmm took me longer than a few days to feel normal again, more like a good month. I used to get the dizziness also and for a good three weeks it felt like an elephant sitting on my chest till ally swelling went down and I healed. All normal some heal quicker than others.

My hernia bothered me more the the band. My surgeon did both on the same day. Check with your doctor when in doubt. You' re still paying him for followups after surgery. Post op visits are usually covered for a time.

It took me more like 3 weeks to get halfway normal. Your body is healing from major surgery. It takes time.

Thanks everyone! Drinking more Water did help with dizziness . I have to just take it one day at a time.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
