Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 Congratulations, Jan, on the -81 pounds! I continue to take my Protonix because I am on an anti-inflammatory medication. I think the heartburn/GERD issue varies from patient. I can say that the GERD is much improved! Hugs and blessings, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2003 Report Share Posted June 21, 2003 I still take my daily prilosec. I can't live without it. By the afternoon if I don't take it, I feel the heartburn coming on. I think it's the type foods we eat after that keeps the need for prilosec going.

Sorry, > Jan in Indiana > Dr Hess 10-31-03 > Lost more weight - down 81 lbs - to 179 =============================== Jan...congrats on the great weightloss! I took prilosec before surgery...had to have it or I would be barfing stomach acid big time....After surgery I only had to take it for one month....for the last 2 1/2 years I have been prilosec, heartburn, acid reflux free. From the people I have talked with Most are able to get off meds like prilosec within the first couple months postop. Note: Prilosec needs to be weaned off. I'm sorry to hear that for you...the need for prilosec still presents itself. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 Kimi, If you have a high temp that is a big warning sign alone, especially if you're done with the antibiotics. If I were you I'ld get checked for an infection, especially if now you have new nosebleeds. Good luck, My thoughts are with you. kimmie3_us <kimmie3_us@...> wrote: Hi everyone, I have a silly question...even tho I have had several ear surgeries I have never really had any post op problems.Now I have a nasty drainage...high temp...dizzy....nausea.... & now nose bleeds.I'm was on anti-biotics..took the last one yesterdayHas anybody ever had nose bleeds?This was a new doctor for me so naturally I am questioning my decision to let him operate.kimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 I agree with the other posts: if you have a very very high temperature rather than just a low grade fever, get medical advice straight away. I have a silly question...even tho I have had several ear surgeries I have never really had any post op problems.Now I have a nasty drainage...high temp...dizzy....nausea.... & now nose bleeds.I'm was on anti-biotics..took the last one yesterdayHas anybody ever had nose bleeds?This was a new doctor for me so naturally I am questioning my decision to let him operate.kimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi all, I'm currently 8 days post -op. I have been feeling pretty good , I only took 3 pain pills after surgery and have had only a mild degree of dizziness. Yesterday I went to the surgeon who removed the outer packing of my ear. He told me to start taking ciprodex drops to start dissolving the packing in the inside. Shortly after I put in the drops this AM , I developed a sharp ear ache and I have been feeling a lot more dizzy... Could you please tell me if this is a normal development? Should I contact my doctor if it continues? thanks Elke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I would thnk you may want to contact your doctor and at least let him know.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 The last office visit I had the doctor was mentioning that if he put drops in my ear while I still had the hole in there from the tube that I would be extremely dizzy, because of the drops in the middle ear. I don't know if that would happen with the ciprodex too or not. I never hurts to call your doc. I would thnk you may want to contact your doctor and at least let him know.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hi Elke I have used the cipro drops several times in the last year. They only make me feel dizzy if I don't warm them up first. This is because I have no eardrum, and the change of temperature can cause dizziness. I don't remember my ear hurting from the drops though. I'd suggest contacting your dr. just to be of the safe side. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
