Hi everyone,

I'm about 2.5 years post loop switch. I know it's not a traditional DS but here I am.

I've had some ups and downs after surgery starting at about 7 months post when I'd reached my goal weight. I got my gallbladder out and had several procedures with various doctors, including teeth extractions for the first time, CT scans, and EGD and a few other things.

I ended up hospitalized with a bowel obstruction in May of 2023 after some pretty bad symptoms. After finally seeing a neurologist a year later, she told me it was probably Guillain-Barré. Now, I agree with her. It took months to be able to walk normally again and build up any kind of endurance. Unfortunately, even at the height of my symptoms I just got sent home and told to get over it. Ah, healthcare.

Anyway. I got back from and international trip a week ago. About two days ago I started being super, super dizzy to the point where it looks like I'm walking around drunk. I do have an appointment on the books but I'm curious whether anyone has run into this as a symptom of maybe something else? Always paranoid, now.

Cheers!

So sorry to hear this Shanon. I wonder if something in the travel brought on the symptoms of Guillain-Barré and this is a flare up of it. I hope you see your doctor soon and get whatever help you need.
