My sense of smell has gone bonkers.



Recommended Posts

I can smell EVERYTHING! My nose is detecting every good and bad acent around. Anyone else experiencing this?

Sleeved a week ago...

OMG yes I got sleeved on 12/8 and even my home sir fresheners that I have ALWAYS used are too much for me. I wonder if this will go away or get worse?

Well, this is just another present in the old swag bag of of sleevedom. Interesting. Let's see what happens.

I find them somewhat keener or perhaps pickier? Anything strong bothers me. I was sleeved on 12/7 and the smell of coffee brewing or bacon cooking nauseates me now.

Yes, this happened to me. I've always been sensitive to smells but for a month after being sleeved it was overwhelmingly strong. I made my husband take the trash out almost every day because I could smell it from across the house.

I found this too and three months out it is still the case! In fact, I had a favorite essential oil spray I used to LOVE and use everyday and now I hate it!

I'm over a year out and was standing in the dining room at my parent's last night and said, "I smell marshmallows." My mom looked at me in disbelief and said she opened a cabinet in the kitchen to put something away and there is a giant bag of marshmallows in there. LOL! I've still got it. Mom said I'm a "super smeller".

Unfortunately perfumes, body odor and cigarettes makes me physically ill now. Having a keen sense of smell and working with the public is not a good combination.

I have a theory about starvation levels and the body trying to detect food any way it can, rejecting all but the best. Meh?

Right! If we were back in the days of the caveman and we were starving those that had the best sense of smell to find food would out live the ones that didn't!

      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?
