Banded 7/31 Can't Shake Foggy Feeling



Recommended Posts

I wake up every morning (8+ hours of sleep) and I am very groggy. I feel like I am in a fog most of the day. today it finally began feeling better around 4:00 pm (US-Central time zone). Have any of you had a similar experience?

I felt foggy. I think it was more of the liquids for so long plus the anesthesia. It really hangs on to some people. For me, the 1st week after surgery, I was miserable. Gas, pain, tired, unable to drink at all 1st 2 days etc Now, almost 6 weeks out, I don't feel like I even had surgery!

Foggy---Are you still taking the pain meds at night?

As for the phlem, that is prob from the breathing tube irritating your throat. Happened to me and it cleared up.

      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.
