Like 3 bites of split peas Soup. I've had it everyday for weeks.. So scared I hate feeling that way it felt like I was dying

Sometimes the things you could eat you can't like a day after it's weird. Ya i heard the feeling sucks. I myself have never had out and i pray i never do. Just be careful, maybe not eat that soup anymore. Glad your better

My surgeon said it could be low blood pressure due to dehydration. If you can, check your blood pressure or I think he said if there is a difference in your pulse between sitting and standing. I get spells of this.

Califmomto4 my blood pressure has steadily been around 98/62 all day. I know it's low end if normal but normal none the less. I'm wondering if because my blood pressure was semi high before surgery ... Maybe my body adjusting??

It happened to me at 3 weeks out and I was in fact dehydrated and had to go to the ER and get a bag of fluids. Be careful, call your surgeon.

      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.
