Anyone have problems with fingers swelling



Recommended Posts

That isn't typical. Definitely tell your doctor about it. It might be too much salt, but it could be other things too (vitamin deficiencies, circulation problems, etc).

Did you change what you wear to bed? Maybe something is too tight...

Yeah I'm going to speak to them but I was told my salt intake is low as when I get up I almost feel like passing out and am having low blood pressure but I'm getting blood work soon so we will see

Ask your doc if they think a cardiac workup would be a good idea...

I had problems like this at night. It had to do with the position I was sleeping in. The way I sleep post-op is completely different than pre-op. I was basically sleeping weird and cutting my circulation off. :lol: I had to learn how to sleep again and how to sit again.

My blood pressure is at the bottom of normal, and dips lower. Most of my family is like that. If I am going to be active I have to really keep my Fluid intake up and I can pretty much have unlimited salt. There is nothing wrong with my blood work. I just lost weight and turned delicate.

My Fluid intake is good,and I'm still on all the Vitamins. I know I get the low blood pressure when I switch from sitting to standing. One doc recommended getting more salt, so I have to get blood work done in the next few weeks and will find out. I'm not sure if my sleeping position has really changed, but it could be the reason. Last night was the worse case, woke up and couldn't get my wedding ring off and that finger never swells but now they all are doing it

      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?
