Christmas in the hospital



Recommended Posts

I am 23 days post op and wondered if anyone else has experienced what i did over the holidays. Since comng home from surgery I haven't had any complications. I have been able to drink and eat Jello and pudding with no problems. In week 2, I did start feeling weak but for the most part I could just rest for awhile and keep on going. That ALL changed Christmas Eve day. I began throwing up continuously - to the point of dry heaves. I was admitted to the hospital on Christmas Day and just released yesterday (Tuesday). I had a scan done and the tummy looked great.

Has anyone else been this far out and experienced nausea to this degree?

I got the gastrointestianal bug the day after Christmas. YUCKS. If I had gotten it 3 weeks out I would have been in the hospital too I bet. I got very dehydrated and was kinda wondering if I could have a nurse come and hook me up to an I V. I managed to get better on my own, but, if I had not improved I would have gone in to the hospt.

I hope that is all you had. Sounds like your sleeve is fine. GREAT news. Now, back to normal recovery and great new things. Walk, Water, Protein. = fantastic results.

      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!!
