Cant quench my thirst!



Recommended Posts

Ok I have two odd symptoms since being sleeved on 1/10/13 and that is my vision is blurry when I where my glasses that used to help me see perfectly. Now I can only use my glasses to see far away but if I use them to look on my phone or type everything is jumbled. I took the patch off my ear in hopes it would give me immediate relief but it hasn't. Will this ever go away?! It's scary. How will I drive if I can't see well?:0/

Secondly, I can't seem to quench my thirst!! I just spent the last 2 hours drinking 24oz and earlier today I drank Water. I can't get rid of this dry taste in my mouth. I have no moisture. Cotton mouth. Anyone else ever experienced that??

I was told its because of dehydration. The moment your mouth is dry means you aren't drinking enough. I measure my intake by using a Gatorade bottle. Oh and Gatorade makes you wanna drink more. Lol

First few weeks after surgery I was very thirsty...all I wanted was ice Water and I could never seem to get enough. After about 6 weeks the dry mouth got better.

My eyes were blurry while I was in the hospital and maybe 2 days after I was released. They are ok now. I'm wondering if its a side affect from the anesthesia?

I had blurry eyes too and was told because of anesthesia. Mine lasted quite a few weeks. Still now at 12 weeks out I think I need new contact lens prescription unless just a coincidence that my eye sight is worse.

      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?
