My was low until month 4 when I added complex carbs. You know like bread, Pasta and rice. I was often light-headed and dizzy before I added two small servings a day per nutritionist orders

Mary are you taken any BP Med's if so you need to contact your doctor ASAP.

I had the same problem my blood pressure started getting real low the doctors took me off it and 3 days later no more light headedness blood pressure is running 118/67. That and they want me to increase my calorie intake and up my Protein to 80-100 g a day ( ez for the docs to say).

But don't listen to us call your doctor to be on the safe side. PLEASE

Nope, no meds for me. Actually I was on HTZ (diuretic) before surgery and was discharged they told me not to take it anymore so I would not be dehydrated. Hey Paul I wanted to ask about that stitch you had said was sticking out did the Dr say anything? I have two of them, that I noticed now that my dermond fell off!

Doctor tryed to remove the stich but could not get a good hold on it so they want the skin to heal over it and they will try again on the 17.

And my rings will need to be resized I got tape around my wedding ring to stop it from falling off

Ouch, then I do not wat to say anything! Hope it absorbs itself! That is great about the ring, but I would definetly wait a bit to see where you will end up in terms of maintenance. They may sell these rubber things that you can use meanwhile.

Mine has been low since the day I had the surgery and right up to today. No dizziness or any other problematic symptoms - just low. Neither my primary or my surgeon seem to be concerned and speaking as a guy that had hypertension and the associated risks for a lot of years, I'm pretty OK with low!

My blood pressure ran from 95/55 to 115/75 in the hospital. Now it is running anywhere from 110/70 to 120/75. If you dont feel well I would also recommend calling your doctor. I was on meds prior to surgery and once I left the hospitalI was told not to take my meds anymore. At least that makes one less medication for me post-op!

surgery date: 7/30/12

Everyone is differen and I'm no doctor

My3stars they want to remove the stich they just can't get hold of it there is not much sticking out. And the doctor is worried about it not healing and getting infected. And my ring are slipping off to when I hit my target weight I will have them resized. Right now I have clear tape ripped around it to hold it on

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
