Lakishc

Mine is in June 20

I got very bad pain when I'd swallow anything. The doctor pushed on my abdomen in different areas and asked if any area hurt and I said no. He said I'd be fine! I was kinda pissed because I'm wondering, uhhh, how am I supposed to drink Water then? All he'd say is "sip slowly". All I heard was "pain slowly". So I thought, whatever. I'm just gonna have to push through. The pain didn't come as frequent the next day and the next day...but it was at least a week before it completely stopped. So yeah, I drank through the pain. It SUCKED. I probably only got in about 20 oz day 1 an day 2, and finally hit 32 on day 3. I was ok.

So I am post op day 2 with gastric bypass and still at the hospital because of dehydration. I cant seem to get the liquids down. Also just started this evening I am belching like crazy and it hurts! I get this burning epigastric pain and it makes me nauseous then I burp a ton. Anyone else experience this? Also how is the heck did you guys get 64 oz of Water down everyday? I have barley gotten through a 16oz bottle of water. They are sending me home later this evening but I am scared I will just end up in the ER with dehydration.

Any experience changing to a whole new bariatric team AFTER your surgery?

I'm 8 weeks out and having an extremely rough go of it. I've been hospitalized twice postop for dehydration, I'm still not eating, barely keeping liquids down (lucky to get 16oz a day), totally bed ridden and miserable. My bariatric team is not taking this seriously enough and is not working proactively towards a solution.
I want to go to a new office, but I don't know how to begin. Any tips for finding a GOOD team? Anyone in the MD area have recommendations? I'm close to DC but willing to travel up to an hour or more for quality care.

Feeling almost back to normal, very little, if any pain today. Sick of Protein shakes! Looking into purchasing unflavored whey to add to broth, and foods in the future. Energy level is fine, hungry, but mostly mental hunger, although eager to start pureed foods.

I have to do 6 months med supervised weight loss, Psych eval, cardiac clearance, NUT appt, exercise class, support group and and endoscopy b4 my insurance and surgeon will approve me. I should be done middle of november or so then surgery 2017...
From what I have read, every surgeon and insurance is different, so when you go to the Dr for your first appt they will tell you everything you have to do b4 surgery.
Congratulations on taking the first step
