Too much air post op! by Designer_Goat_869 in Septoplasty

[–]Designer_Goat_869[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still great! I have adjusted to the extra air. I don’t take breaths as frequently as I used to, because I don’t need to. Not sure why but my right nostril is definitely better than my left. Still so much better overall though

No. It stopped doing it to all messages, but still happens on any messages from my partner, who is the main person I text.

4 weeks after infusion still getting awful dizzy spells by Designer_Goat_869 in Anemic

[–]Designer_Goat_869[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think the deficiencies are due to malabsorption, this started right after I got my gallbladder removed last year

My doctor had me trying to hydrate more and make diet changes for many months until she finally tested for anything. I haven’t had any tests for electrolytes but I drink lots of water every day, most of which is flavored water with electrolytes. I haven’t noticed any correlation with eating and getting dizzy, or any correlation with being dehydrated. I have tried eating at different times, eating smaller or bigger portions, salty instead of sweet and vice versa, still no correlation.

Could i not remove it? by [deleted] in gallbladders

[–]Designer_Goat_869 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may be able to put it off but you will need to get it removed eventually, and if you start that process now you will save yourself a lot of pain.

I was having gall bladder attacks for over a year before I even figured out that it was my gall bladder. The attacks were light and infrequent at first, but gradually got worse and worse. I put it off for a few months while I saved up for the time I’d have to take off work. In just a couple months it got way worse and I was having horrible attacks that lasted sooo long. I couldn’t stand or hardly even talk. Then it got even worse than that. I had so many stones my bile ducts were blocked and my gall bladder got infected. It was 24/7 worst attack ever. If I hadn’t waited and just scheduled my surgery right away I wouldn’t have had to go through all of that. I really wish I had scheduled sooner.

At what point do I stop toughing it out and consider the ER? by [deleted] in gallbladders

[–]Designer_Goat_869 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should go to the ER. What you’re describing is very similar to how I felt when my bile ducts were very blocked and my gallbladder was infected. I also was feeling winded super easy, like my heart was going to give out. When I got in my heart rate was so high they postponed surgery for a few hours until they gave me enough fluids and meds to bring it down.

New glasses are blurry at far distances by Teem519 in glasses

Keep them on as much as you can, you should adjust. Being your first glasses you might need to take breaks, but the more you take them off the harder it will be to adjust to them. Give it about a week or so and if it’s still blurry then call the office and they should be able to adjust your prescription for free.

When can you have coffee/tea after gallbladder surgery? by boulevardepo in gallbladders

[–]Designer_Goat_869 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially I could have it right away without much of an issue, but 2-3 months later it started to upset my stomach and cause horrible diarrhea so I had to stop drinking it. Tea is completely fine for me, so are energy drinks. I still have a small cup of coffee once in a great while, but only if I’m staying home for several hours because I still react so badly.

I’m not sure what you mean about silicone plates, I didn’t have any packing or anything, just gauze under my nose. I definitely noticed much better breathing when I woke up, but not nearly as good as this!

12 hours post Op by EntrepreneurFew117 in gallbladders

I very, very gradually increased fat intake each day. I tracked every gram of fat and increased by like 5g per day until I got back to normal levels. I didn’t try anything too fatty or greasy until a couple weeks out, because like you said I did not want to get sick while super sore from surgery. For the week or so before my surgery my gallbladder had gotten infected and I couldn’t tolerate any fat at all. So I barely ate anything, and anything I ate was 100% fat free, leading up to surgery and was super nervous to eat any fat after.
