I can't stop puking what's going on



Recommended Posts

I'm about 5 weeks post surgery and for the last two days I can't stop throwing up. I've called my surgeon and they want me to keep taking the ondansetron for nausea, but it's too the point that I'm ready to go to the emergency room. Help please?

Did you take the anti nausea meds? Give it time to work. If your not better in a couple hours then I would go to the E R

Go to the ER. At 5 weeks post op, this may not be related to the sleeve. You may have a stomach bug, and you may need IV fluids. Better safe than sorry I think.

definitely sounds like a GI bug at this point, especially if there's no abdominal pain or other issues to go with it. Norovirus is common year round and it frighteningly easy to transmit.

I saw my surgeon today. He checked my stomach and there was no blockage or leakage. I'm still feeling quite nauseaed.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
