I had my surgery the 7th of August. Yesterday after taking 4 Tylenol 3's, I began to have headaches, Nausea, heart palpitations, shortness of breath and I felt my lungs were closing. I went to the closest emerge last night and the doctor concluded nothing, maybe just stress related. He took an ECG, blood work and an x-ray and concluded nothing. I went home prayed to God I wasn't going to die and fell asleep. This morning I woke up and the headache was gone and the pain was a little less. Afternoon came and I started to feel same symptoms again- but more nauseous! ( I have not taken T3's again) so I went to the pharmacy and grabbed Gravol, hope it works! Has anyone else felt like this just after surgery?

I get the headaches and heart palpitations and shortness of breath when I am starting to get dehydrated and my sinuses are acting up. So how are you feeling now?

I have been plagued with nausea and my surgery was also on the 7th. I also had a headache to beat the band the past couple days but didn't take things for it because I was afraid how all that medicine would sit in my empty stomach. On the plus side, I feel much better today, no nausea. I have sipped Water all day long and even had a little Tomato Soup. I hope tomorrow will be better for you but I'd slow down on the pills. If I took 2 tylenol 3's I'd be sick and you took 4. Feel better soon!

      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?
