Hi Everyone!,

Giving a big shout out from New Jersey. My husband was just banded on the 12th. I'm really exhausted from taking care of him and the kids. Just need to know from all you good folks (my pool of experts!) is it normal for someone post-op to feel really dizzy and hot. My husband does'nt have a fever but his arms are really hot the rest of him feels normal. No fever either. I want to call his doc but he does'nt also he needed to go to the bathroom but when he sat down he really got dizzy. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Let me know and blessings to you all you're really brave!:tongue2:

Hi.. I will not be banded until next week, but you should call the doctor for peace of mind. Men are a bit more "sensitive" and love to be "taken care of", if you get my drift. But, just in case, call the doctor. I have a hubby and several sons!! Experienced Mama. ChristyC

Jani, Hi from Louisiana. The dizziness might be after effects from anesthesia. Some people handle it better than others. You should def. check with your Dr., however. Also he hasn't eaten in a while that might account for some of the dizziness.

Hope all goes well.

Tara.

Thanks Louisiana, I thought so. He is being stubborn about eating(he's sick of my chicken broth) its hard cause he's smells me making dinner for the kids. Does this get better? I kinda dreading my own operation. Bless you for the advise. Jani

      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?
