I have had REALLY bad nosebleeds after the last 2 PB's..anyone else?



Recommended Posts

My extremely fickle band has been off and on tight over the last few weeks, subsequently I have gotten stuck twice and had 2 fairly bad PB episodes during which my nose bled, well actually poured is a better description. I called my doctor and while he didn't say it was considered normal, he did it was not uncommon. So here I am, asking my fellow bandsters if it has happened to you? Thanks for your help!

PB's can be pretty violent! And if you're prone to nosebleeds, I would say that its easy to imagine you'd have one after a bad pb.

What a pain though!

Thanks for both your replies Jachut. The puzzling part of the nosebleed is I haven't ever had one before and now I've had gushers two times in a row. I'm sure its due to the PB episode but its very scary nonetheless especially since it started while I was vomiting and at that very instant I wasn't sure if I was vomiting blood or what. I quickly realized that it was coming from my nose but not before it scared the dickens outta me.

I hope I will find out more at my dr's appointment but I was hoping to see if anyone else had ever had that same problem. It always helps to know that you aren't the only one experiencing something odd like this. Maybe someone will see this and say "WOW, it happened to me too".

      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?
