Is sodium a problem for anyone else?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone. I'm new here. My surgery is scheduled for Monday and I'm so excited. I feel like I'm going to see my fairy godmother. Fix my body a nd I'll fix my mind. Wish they could fix my mind to but...know only I can do that. I was wondering if anyone else has a issue with sodium or had? Is it still a problem after being sleeved? Or it's not a issue anymore do to the small amount of food being eating? Or is this a question I need to address on another board after surgery? I have heart disease and have had OHS already so I avoid anything salty. Thank you for being here.

One good thing is you will already be getting blood work done probably twice a year so you can look at your sodium levels along with the other levels to see if an adjustment is needed. I always drank tons of Water pre-surgery so I was concerned I might have to watch my sodium intake post surgery because of the limited amount of water I could drink. I'm a little over 2 months post-op and back up to 100+ oz a day of water so sodium concentration shouldn't be an issue. Just shoot for high liquid goals and you will be good. I was going to say golden but when it comes to pee, you want to shoot for clear. LOL

      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?
