Heading back to ER again, prayers please

Been so sick 3 weeks post op. Can't get fluids down. Woken up vomiting bile, brown mucus and blood thus morning. Vomited yesterday too but not blood. I just want them to find out what's wrong with me. Was sleeved nov 6th. Was doing OK a week or 2 out and started getting sick 6 days ago. Went to ER this past Monday. But they have me some fluids and a cat scan and blood work and didn't find anything except some esophageal swelling. They should have done an EGD. Going to an different ER. Been on straight gatorade for 4 days and getting worse. I should have went in yesterday but didn't want to ruin thanksgiving. Appreciate the prayers. I just want to get well.

Don't let my issues scare you. I was told by surgeon something like this happens only like every 3 years out of tons of surgeries

Hi. I OK. Think I'm going backwards. Nausea has come back since Thursday and preventing food and fluid intake so not hitting my daily numbers. I've increased compazine back to twice a day from once every 2 days. Worried if this continues will have to call surgeon in next few days and may be looking at ng tube again.

Not good news. Keeping you in my prayers. Have you discussed the possibility of converting your sleeve to an RNY Bypass with the surgeon to see if would help? Just an idea cuz thats what the do if you have acid reflux that is extremely bad.

Think I'm going backwards.

Thanks all. Possibilities were discussed in past of converting but they would need 12 weeks from original surgery who h I am now approaching other possibility was feeding tube port thru stomach but that's for long term and no solving anything. I can't go through this again. It's been just over a week since tube was pulled, seems like the lack of nutrition without aide of tube which bypassed stomach is catching up with me. Seems like anything that hits my stomach it doesn't like and makes nausea worse. I've been trying to force stuff down and still not working. Only made 400 calories, 37g protein and like 30oz water yesterday. My wife doesn't want me to wait a couple days to contact doctor's but not sure what else they can do but to readmit me or replace ng tube at this point. I have all same symptoms I had at start of my spiral which was around beginning of week 3 post op. Depression is coming g back as I can't do this again
