7 Days Out, Weird Ear Question?



Recommended Posts

I am 7 days out from surgery, each evening since day 3, my ears get blocked and pop and crackle. I started taking Sudafed this afternoon so I will see if that helps. Otherwise I am fine, no sinus issues or cold symptoms at all. My voice sounds like I am in a barrel when this happens. I am wondering if this is due to still having extra Fluid that needs to drain from my abdomen, which is still slightly puffy.

Has anyone else experienced this? :blink:

Since my surgery a week ago, I've had a slightly runny nose... Maybe that's connected too.

How weird! That never happened to me, but I hope for you a speedy recovery and that it isn't long lasting.

Good Luck!

A side effect from flying perhaps?? Altitude changes?

It might be a sinus infection. I got this after the sleeve.

I am experiencing vertigo now. What did you do to treat it? How long did it last? Did you have problems with vertigo pre surgery?

Thank you for your help. I have an appointment with my surgeon next week.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
