teller0245 3 Posted September 9, 2012 Hello y'all! I had my Gastric sleeve done a year and 1 month ago. For the past two months, After my miscarriage I've noticed my body and health has changed drastically. Ive been extremely dizzy and lightheaded. Is this normal? I've never had dizzy spells so this isnt normal for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggychic 1,405 Posted September 9, 2012 well first, ive had seven so m pretty good at miscarriage issues. when did yu have the miscarriage? are you certain there was only one and that you do not require a dnc. how far along were you? my aneminea would drop drastically if i was further into thepregnancy.

teller0245 3 Posted September 10, 2012 I had my miscarriage July 9th: according to my lmp I was 8 weeks into the pregnancy but according to doctors my sac was 4 weeks and 2 days with no fetal pole. I havent had my period yet...it's 31 days late.... I'm so annoyed about that. From time to time, I think I'm pregnant and kinda snap of it. But after that incident, my body isn't the same. What has ur experiences been like? Wow 7 that's crazy...sorry for those loses..have u been able to Conceive yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggychic 1,405 Posted September 10, 2012 honey you need to see your gyno tomorrow or get a new one. you may need a dnc if you have not naturally passed the baby by now. it can be a life threatening condition to you. id also request a blood test. your Iron is probably low and you are likely very anemic which makes you tired. (by the way my sleeve complications are requiring a lot of drugs so i sometimes run my words tohether here. please forgive my poor grammer. im not theidiot i appear). make sure an untrasound is done to ensure the baby is gone before you go further, but if it is, as you expect, i think you need to get the dnc so your bidy dies not experience septic shcok etc. this could ruin your ability to conceive again in the furture, but mostly im worried about your life. as to me, i had one shocking pregnancy naturallt at 42. dh and i were stunned to say the least. we then went to ART and on to IVF. i got pregnant five times, two were twins, but just couldnt hold them. the toll all of that takes on your body is horrific, including sixty lbs being half arsed preggers all the time lol. we chose to end the heartbreak and just focus our joy on our one boy . let me know what your docs say. im worried for you dawn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teller0245 3 Posted September 10, 2012 Thank u for being concerned...I went to my Gyno and they said that I passed it naturally and my hcg were back down to 0. I really don't eat much and don't religiously take my Vitamins. I live of sunflower seeds...yes I know that's horrible. But after my scare today, I told myself I would begin eating healthy as of tomorrow. :-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggychic 1,405 Posted September 10, 2012 id get some blood work done and check your Iron level. miscarriages are natoriously hard on them. yes eat better and keep potassium and Iron in mind, but iron is going to likely need to be suplimented to bring you back up. this,wis have an amazing effect on your energy levels. btw, my one way of dealing with the loss of all my babies is to get very clinical talking about the situation so if i didnt say it, please understand i am sorry for your loss!
