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.

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....

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

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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
