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.

      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.
