What Was That? Leak Scare.



Recommended Posts

This morning I woke up a little nauseated but not bad. Took all my meds plus started back on my Allopurinol (for Gout) that I was taking before surgery(surgery was 11/1/12 BTW) because my Dr. said it was Ok. About an hour later I break out in a sweat. No chills but my heart did feel like it was beating faster than normal. This feeling lasted about an hour and went away. I haven't ate anything this morning but I did eat 8oz. of strained cream of mushroom Soup made with 2% hi-protein milk last night. I felt EXTREMELY full after doing that. That had me worrying that I may have gotten a leak. I hate to say it but I've been eating the same 8oz. every night because I thought that was what I was supposed to be eating. I always feel very full after doing so. Just read my B-book this morning and found that Im only supposed to be eating 4oz. (Oops!)

It's 2 hours later now and I feel fine. What was that? A little dump maybe? Anybody else have this happen?

Did you eat/have something in your stomach before you took the allopurinal? It is never good to take meds on an empty sleeve. Might just have been a reaction to the meds.

That thought briefly crossed my mind but that is the way I've always taken my meds. Guess this is one more thing I need to modify in my life. Small price to pay for a new me !!!

Thanks

      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?
