Every time I call the surgeons office they keep telling me I'm fine and I'm eating/drinking wrong. I keep having to spit, swallowing a lot of it is making me gag/dry heave.

Constantly having to gag/heave even when I don't drink or eat anything.

Water upsets me

Mushy food upsets me

EVERYTHING upsets me

And they keep telling me I'm fu***** okay. IM NOT. I FEEL LIKE DEATH.

What the hell is wrong with me ?

I beg for an answer or support. I can't do this alone.

I'm sitting in my car typing this. Nothing in my mouth. I'm gagging.

Two days ago... Kidney stones....

What's next? gallbladder?

Surgery: 12.12.11

Lost: 64lbs

Maybe you're dehydrated from not getting enough fluids and spitting. Do you feel really dry? Dehydration can cause nausea and make you feel really crappy. Go get some fluids in the ER if your insurance will cover it. If not, you must find a way to get some kind of liquid in you. Hot chocolate, milk, lemonade, anything.

Please keep us updated--

If you cant keep anything down then you will needs fluids via IV. You will feel so much better. I would go now. Listen to your body.

I say it's time for a trip to the ER. You sound dehydrated and it doesn't get better by itself. It's a vicious cycle of gagging and spitting until you can't drink anything. Go now, please, and let us know when you're home and fine.

This is what happens when I don't have anything in my stomach: It cramps, I get nausiated and then I produce a lot of saliva that I have to spit out.

You are getting dehydrated. Lissa is right. Get to the ER.

Very concerned for you...if you dont go to the hospital (which is my advice) try to fill a syringe with vitamin water or G2 and try to just get one syringe down at a time. Please keep us posted.

sorry your feeling so bad. It is a really good ideal to go to the ER to be rehydrated. Please let us know how your holding out. concerned.

Whoa you've lost 64lbs in a month!?! I'm 5 months out and have only lost 62. I think you need to seek the advice of another Dr. Sounds to me like you have a leak....

Attempting to get authorization.

If approved , I'm rushing there.

No word from insurance ..

I hate this ...

United Healthcare covers ?

I've never heard of having to get pre-authorization for an emergeny room visit. Usually you go to a covered hospital and then ask for a co-pay. Whay about your Primary car doctor?

I would first start with caling the on-call surgeon in the practice that did your surgery.

The answering service said wait until morning ...

My stool is extremely light colored now.

My liver is failing isn't it.... Or am I reading too much into WebMD

Cat- primary care advised the best they can do is my b12 shots

You have to wait for pre-authorization to go to the ER? Honey, are there any 24 hour urgent care places near you, at a minimum? Please get in and see someone ASAP, we're worried!

You cannot be turned away from most ERs, but here in Houston there are private care ER's that usually take most insurance - they are more attentive in general. We keep our medical info with one just down the road, and it came in uber handy when my husband had an emergency.

I am not advocating it, but you can get an IV set up through a mdeical supply and IV yourself. You are only administering a basal Fluid (I think I said that right) so gravity or light pressure will work.

Start emailing your conversations with your doctor, and be very specific that the email is intended to be addressed by the surgeon and all other parties that may be involved in evaluating your question. Be sure to mention accountability for your health and that you do not seek opinion, you anticipate results. Do not ask if you need to be seen, tell them to arrage whatever tests are standard to assure no leaks, no damage to your esophagus during surgery, etc...

Good luck, god bless!
