I am still at the hosptial in Mexicali and the care has been excellent, but I am not doing very well. They are keeping me an extra day. I have thrown up everything I take in and have done all the leak tests and I'm okay. They are medicating nausea but I don't even know if thats what it is. And now, I am scared to drink anything at all. What do I do? i am despereate to go home, I am in a bad place emotionally, and read everyone's quick recovery stories and feel so confused. Help!

I don't know you but I could hear the fear through your post. You are brave to do what you did and keep hanging in there b/c you are halfway there. Like others have said, everyone is different. Do your best to remain calm and let the doctors just analyze what is happening. I truly believe that you are going to be ok. I will pray for you and for peace of mind. I know I can get so anxious sometimes and start to panic. One day I will be where you are and I hope that I can remember to tell myself this same advice!! I know it will be ok. You are going to do great!! Just rest and believe that with every second that goes by you are getting closer to total healing!

I'm sorry that your having a rough go of it but I'm glad that your leak tests have shown no problem there. It probably is a reaction to the anesthesia. My surgeon kept me in hospital 5 days. I get that your anxious to feel better and go home. You'll be there soon. And each day will bring a little more healing. I too will say a prayer for you Anna.

please be patient and pray.....you are in very good hands and your doctor knows what he?s doing, so please don?t worry. please keep us posted. Godbless.

I had nausea in the hospital also. I kept throwing up old blood and maybe medication. It seemed like I was going to throw up until every little speck of it was out. I realized this and started not taking the nausea medicine b/c I wanted to get it out of my system. That worked for me. I was in the hospital 3 days and I felt horrible and was totally out of it and kinda scared what have I done, etc. But hang in there, once they tell you to take a shower and go home you will probably rise to the occasion and feel better.
