Severe Pain And Throwing Up



Recommended Posts

It started last night around 7:30pm ... I am having severe pain in between my ribs right in the center. So much so I had toile a trip to the ER.. They did test and X-rays to see if it was a slippage or something and everything came back fine.. I got a hold of my surgeon today and he suggested I get an in fill that I may be to tight. My last my first fill was over 2 weeks ago... Can it get too tight this far out from the fill? And sorry for typos I'm ont phone

yes, definitely listen to your surgeon. I have read others post as well that they didn't get full effects of fill right away and some have a couple weeks later. Otherwise, I would think that maybe something you ate last night got stuck and caused the agony. Many times after a stuck episode people revert to liquids for a day or two to let the stomach settle down. Did this happen right after eating?

a quick tip when that happens write down what you ate so as to keep a list of possible no's that way if it happens again you know that item is no longer allowed at all.

Office and they actually did an un fill and said that I was to tight.. They took all if the Fluid out to make sure that that was what was causing my pain and I get a refill on Tuesday or they said I could wait until after thanksgiving... I did have instant relief as soon as they took the Fluid out. I don't think it was something stuck because I have had that happen twice before and it washer in my chest area.. This was below my chest . And it was a constant pain. It's rough bc I really thought I was in my green zo zone. I wasn't hungry betweeneals and had lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. I did only have 5.5 cvs in my band too.

Also if you eat a lot of salt you be one blotted and it can cause being over resisted.

My surgeon recommend in the am drinking sips of Water to judge if it is a solid or liquid day. If the Water goes smooth it is a solid day. If it sits and goes slow it is a liquid day.

To must salt the day before or hormones can cause the blotting and to much restriction .

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
