4 weeks out, hut by a bus...or at least it feels that way.



Recommended Posts

Ok, I am not usually an alarmist, but considering how serious complications can be, I am taking no chances. I need advice from the vets.

I am four weeks out on Tuesday, within a few days after surgery I felt great. Then last week (at 3 weeks) I started to feel fatigued. It has just continued to worsen. As of today, I can barely keep my eyes open. I feel like I am going to faint. I am so insanely tired, I can barely function. I have a crazy headache. I am hydrated (pee clear, drinking over 64 oz). Up until today I have been over 60 grams Protein. Followed the diet exactly, no cheating. Taking my Vitamins, so what is this?

I have no other leak symptoms, no fever, no shortness of breath, no chest pains. But any idea what is going on? I was sleeved in Mexico and so the ER is my only resource for care. So I don't want to jump the gun and go to the ER unless necessary.

Please help with your thoughts.

Call your surgeon, and talk with him/her regarding your concerns.

I would go to a doctor 1st thing.

If your diet was high in sugar before that may explain the lose of energy feeling.

      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?
