O, so I went camping all weekend in our RV. I did lots of walking, swimming and spending time outside in the heat. I felt fine until today, I have been so sick to my stomach and cant eat anything. Im also having a hard time drinking Water because it makes me sick to my stomach. I am almost 6 wks post op and have had no complications at all. Well, when I got home alittle bit ago I took some phenegran for nausea. 30 minutes later I was gagging and throwing up slim with just a small trace amount of blood. Very small amount of streaks of blood. Anyone else have this happen? Did I over do it? Am I dehydrated? Should I worry?

I haven't had anything like that happen, but i don't think it sounds normal at all. You should call your doctor and just check. Better safe than sorry!

try a sugar free popsicle if you have any on hand. if you are unable to keep any fluids down then that is an issue and needs to be taken care of ASAP. traces of blood in you slime miight be a reason to call your MD but not run to the ED for. If it was vomiting bright red blood and buckets of it then run there.

A few weeks ago I went to Chicago for a week, I was fine, when I came home I was sick for three days. Could not eat or drink, foamies, and chills. It left as fast as it came. If you start running fever I would worry and listen to your body

When in doubt, call your doc. They usually have someone on call to answer your questions. It's better to be safe than sorry IMHO.

Thanks everyone. I feel much better now. I really think I was dehydrated or I over did it. I was able to keep the sf popcicles down and I started feeling better.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
