4th day Post-op. Feeling really dizzy, FEEDBACK please



Recommended Posts

Today is day 4 postop. I woke up feeling light headed and dizzy. The room was seriously spinning. Also, I have been running low grade fevers. Has this happened to anybody out there? Maybe because I am so low on calories and food? ? Feedback would be grately appreciated.

S+5 here. That does not sound normal.

Are you having trouble getting in the Protein and Water?. I am still struggling with getting in two Protein shakes a day. Finally made it today and it seems to help with my energy level. Water was a struggle until I realized I could take more than 1 OZ of water at a time. I'm still not as hydrated as I would like, but am getting better.

Any signs of fever shortly post op is not a good thing. call your doctor and chances are they will want you to come in! Dehydration does not lead to a fever, dizzy yes fever no.. please call your doc!!

fluids as much as possible.

if it does not subside .. have your Iron levels checked! you may need to double up on iron supplements if needed.

      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.
