Hi Guys,

So I have been in and out of the hospital since my surgery on 6/5. I can't keep anything down. My doctor says it's saliva. Does anyone have any suggestions so I can keep food down???? Thank you I am feeling very sad at the moment.

I'm very surprised your doctor doesn't want you to come in? Especially if you can't keep anything down. I don't know what to suggest as this doesn't sound right.....I'm guessing you don't have a fill yet (if you did I would suggest getting that removed). Is it nausea? Try some Gravol or ginger tea to help settle your stomach.

oh eileen i am so sorry to read this...i would call the doctor/hospital asap.....take care and your are in my thoughts

Even tiny sips of water? If not you must see your doc...MANY docs put a couple of ccs in your band during surgery as mine did and yes, I had to have it taken out...if you cannot keep hydrated you need medical help. If you cant eat food, tough it out...you will loosen up.

Insist that they see you. Insist on a barrium swallow. Be pushy!! That is not right..

Yes insist the doctor see you! Some doctors put fill in during the surgery and people need to have them remove the liquid via the port.

There is pretty significant swelling of the stomach after surgery so if your doc did put fill in get him to take it out! Also try really hard to get the barium swallow done good call bonilulu

good luck. Let us know how you are coming along.

what does your dr mean when he says..' its only saliva?''''

I would ask if he primed your band during surgery (added fill). If he did, you may not be able to tolerate. I would have it removed until swelling goes down from surgery.

If you have no fill, and can't keep liquids down, that is a problem. By "food" I am assuming you mean liquids since you are only a few days post op.

I would call your surgeon again. You need to be hydrated!!
