3rd Fill - feeling weird



Recommended Posts

Ok, I had my 3rd fill this afternoon. I did just great, went easier than usual actually. When I walked out to go set up my next appointment though, I started to feel really woozy and shaky. Very cold all of a sudden and weird. Anyone else ever have this happen? I was tempted to walk back to nurse's station and ask to see the doc again, but I was running late for work. I have to tell you though, I was a little worried I wouldn't make it to my car. I was fine after awhile and a couple drinks of Water. Has anyone else had this happen?

I have -- I hate needles, and the doctor said it is your bodies fear reaction - shutting down. Doctor told me to be sure to eat plenty of Protein before my appt.

First fill - I ate nothing before hand - almost passed out during the fill - took 1.5 hrs.

Second fill - had Protein before and husband drove me - I was clamy and slightly awkward feeling.

Third fill - had protein before got done with the fill and started feeling lighthead and sat down and relaxed and then was fine.

Forth fill - drank a 42gr Protein shake on my way to the fill and no issues what so ever! I think I finally licked it -- (keeping my fingers crossed)

WOW... that is awful! I'm sorry you have such an ordeal with your fills! I have only had this happen this time.... and I don't have an issue with needles so I'm not sure what is going on. I will try to have more Protein before next time though.

Thanks!

I would give the doctor a call -in the morning and talk to him - since you don't have fear issue.

Just to be safe!

Wishing you the best!

      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?
