6 Days Post-Op: Ears Ring When I Eat Or Drink

[JohnnyMadison 15]

I had my VSG on 11/30/12, so I am 6 days post-op. Incisions healing well, very minimal pain, no problem getting liquids in, no puking, fully hydrated, very gradually progressing into pureed food, had 80+ grams of Protein and 70+ oz of Water yesterday. All going fine.

Here's my issue. When I eat or drink, my ears start ringing. No other symptoms suggestive of a leak (no pain, no temperature, no flush in the face, no nausea, etc.) exist in my body, but of course that doesn't mean I'm not worried about.

This morning I woke up, took my antibiotic capsule and preventative Prilosec fine with a few sips of water and then took a 30 minute walk. I came back and sipped 1 cup of unsweetened Almond milk over the course of 45 minutes. My ears immediately started ringing and now that I'm done, the ringing is slowly fading away and I feel fine.

The only other "unusual" thing is that I have not felt full or hungry since the sleeve. Everything goes down. It does bubble and gurgle but that seems normal. I forgot I had the sleeve and took two huge gulps of water after a massage two days ago, and the pain was very fleeting and minimal. This was probably 3 ounces in two quick gulps.

Anyone else experience ears ringing only when eating or drinking and then it fades?

Yes, I get this from time to time if I eat too fast. I also get dizzy and room starts fading to black. When I asked about this before someone said it might be related to a nerve near the stomach that is near the stomach. Do you find your blood pressure drops at all?

I haven't checked my BP but that's a great idea, I will do it before and after.

I had something like this it lasted 2 months. If I over did it exercising or house work my left ear felt like there was air flowing through. It was really strange but it went away. Thought it was just me.

This is crazy, I am 5 days post op and my ears buzz when I am eating anything...such a weird feeling.

Op did it ever go away?

[JohnnyMadison 15]

I'm now 25 days from surgery and it definitely has improved. I get it now, mildly, if I drink too fast and then if I eat something rough like dry white chicken meat. But it's so, so, much better. I have no idea the cause -- nerve translation, pressure, etc., but it is so much better and gets better each day.

Thanks for responding! Hopefully mine will go away it is def. Not a comfortable feeling for me at all!
