Medicine + Wls = Trouble

[ProudGrammy 8,322]

hi fellow sleevers

Awful awful awful

I had surgery recently (NSV)taking my important medicine daily, the dosage should have been adjusted due to weight loss of 65 lbs. Spoke w/dr. prior to surgery, he said all would be fine. He was aware of WLS, apparently not aware of how much i had lost.

Day after surgery, i started having delusions. They lasted about 4 days, subsiding each day. My medicine levels were WAY too high for my new weight, causing the problem. (had nothing to do with anesthesia).

It was really terrible. Due to the fact that my dr. did not take into effect the amount of weight loss i had, it conflicted with my other med., causing these terrible side effects. Probably one for the books - at least my book.

hi twoboysandagirl, littlebits

i really appreciate someone reading my post.

it was a terrible experience in the hospital. I was so messed up due to the high medicine levels, due to my WLS. i didn't trust my husband, and in my state, i told him to go away things went really bad before they got better, now i'm just back to my loveable, normal self - hmmmm is that good

thanx for writing

I am diabetic and have concerns with my meds while losing weight. If my sugar levels go too low, it could result in coma or even death. My family is aware of my concerns and have promised to keep an eye out for me if I should become out of sorts. Luckily I have a great dr. but I'm still nervous. So glad yours has been straightened out.
