NuMe4Life 3 Posted April 18, 2013 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?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hely88 883 Posted April 18, 2013 Honestly I get dizzy every time I am on liquids. If you are really worried you should call your doctor. Hope you feel better. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted April 19, 2013 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?? 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. 2 everydayigiveitmybest and CHEZNOEL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Summerrain 520 Posted April 19, 2013 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.

Rojasanoll 920 Posted April 19, 2013 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. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted April 19, 2013 It took me more like 3 weeks to get halfway normal. Your body is healing from major surgery. It takes time. 2 Delajuana and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
