Hi all! Now, I already have contacted the nurses about this, but it is early so idk when I will.hear back from them. But here's the problem

Earlier this week I had a bit of a cold. I took some nyquil and it went away. Then on Tuesday I was cleared for the stage 4 diet. (Yay) and all was well. Then fast forward to Thursday morning and I woke up with reallt bad jaw pain. It got worse through the day. My head also started pounding, like a mirgiane. My ears feel hot. And I have like a metallic taste in my mouth as well. My mother thinks the jaw pain could be from chewing again after a month not being able to, which I can see, but I don't understand why basically my whole face hurts too then.

Did anyone else have jaw pain when they moved onto soft foods? I think i just might be getting sick and its a combination of that and eating again. Please let me know.

I am also a month post opt. I moved through the stages a bit quicker then most do, my stomach has handled everything fine though. I also have been taking my Vitamins and all. I just don't know what's gojng on and I'd like to see if anyone else experienced the same problems. Thanks!

Tooth, ear ache or sinus problems. I would agree with your assessment you may be getting a cold; however, wait for the nurse to call you back. Clearly, anything we provide is going to be speculative.

      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?
