Do smells bother anyone after surgery?



Recommended Posts

oh yes, even none food things stink to me. I thought I was the only one! I feel like the whole house stinks and it doesn't.

Okay this is really strange, about 2 days ago, I started smelling this funk. It followed me every where. I thought it was me and took like 3 showers in one day. Thought it was my shirt, and changed that..so on and so on...Went to grocery store, smelled it, got in the car smelled, got home smelled it every where all over the house. Was really getting a bit worried about it, and just like that it stopped. It wasn't me, I scrubbed up and down, but for 2 solid days I smelled this really nasty funky smell. I didn't connect it to the surgery though...but now...hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

The smell of cooking oil, vanilla, and really fatty meat such as bacon all make me a little queasy. Also my sense of smell has heightened for sure! Don't really particularly care for sweet smelling things either.

I can smell the litter box from the other end of the house after the cat does her business and before could stand next to it and never smell it. If I get near a smoker it about kills me and I used to smoke.

      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?
