Has anyone dealt with meteabolic acidosis after getting sleeved?



Recommended Posts

I know that webmd is a dangerous place for me. I'll just preface this post with that.

I went to my post op appointment and the dr was concerned that I wasn't getting enough Water or Protein, so she did some blood tests. Her office called while I was sleeping and when I woke up they were closed. My blood tests were just published on the medical portal. I took a look and then went to WebMD to see what the two things that were pretty far off meant. And it all talks about metabolic acidosis. So now i'm feeling a little freaked out. Just hoping that someone may have some knowledge in this area.

Thanks

I bet you are dehydrated. I'm not a Dr so it's only an uneducated guess.

I suffered from Lactic acidosis in September they felt it was due to my metformin and dehydration . This was pre sleeve. What were your lab results ? Lactic acid level? Are you on metformin? How is your kidney function? Anion gap?

My anion gap was high. My dr called me Friday to let me know she's not concerned and felt my numbers were all within a safe range, and encourged me to push as much fluids in me as I can to avoid hospitalization. So I've been working on that. I still feel very weak and tired, but I'm trying to get more Protein and calories in as well and that should help quite a bit. I was very scared for a little bit that something very serious was wrong. However, I've been able to double my intake of fluids so that at least makes me feel better mentally.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
