Ok so this may be completely unrelated to my sleeve, but I'm 6 days post op and today I have not been able to stop yawning. I'm talking like 20+ times an hour off and on all day. It's almost like I just can't get enough air. Anyone else experienced anything like this??

Are you stressed?

Are you taking your Vitamins?

Your body has been thru heck...a major organ has been severed... It could be telling you to rest a bit more.

Congrats on your surgery! :)

Yes stressed, live next to crazy neighbors and today they threatened my life and I had to call the police. Haven't yet started my Vitamins b/c I didn't have the chewable ones yet and the regular ones were way too big to swallow. I bought chewable vitamins today and so I am just starting that. Just thought it was weird it's lasted all day. Just feel like I can't breathe deep enough. I'm going to use my incentive spirometer as i'm laying in bed and see if that helps any.

Thanks :)

Oh no! That would stress you out for sure!! I hope it gets resolved :(

Yes, start your chewable vitamins especially with all the added stress from your neighbors.

Your hearts not racing is it? You feel okay otherwise?

Definitely do your spirometer. It's worth the hassle. You don't want pneumonia.

I had the exact same thing. Part of it is anxiety, but mostly it was my low Iron. I starting taking iron and Vitamin C together (helps the iron absorb) and it went away. Try it, it'll go away!

      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?
