No Easy Road Here

I am just so upset. I was sleeved on May 3. It does not seem to matter how slow I drink or how many minutes I put in between my 1 oz little cups I still end up getting sick. I am so tired of throwing up. I have these little 1 oz cups and I make sure it takes me at least 10 minutes to drink one I wait at least 30 minutes before trying another 1 oz. so in 1.5 hours I am getting 3 oz of fluid I usually end up throwing it up.

Waiting for the doctors office to open so I can go in and see if I can get some fluids and some help.

Did anyone else have this problem and what did you do????? I am so desperate. I just feel like my body is falling apart...please please please give me some advice..

Yikes, I was sleeved on may 1st, I haven't had this issue. I just wanted wish you luck. Keep us posted and good luck!

1mary, you are right to go see your dr. Anything that doesn't feel right should be reported to your doc. Please let us know the outcome after your visit. Prayers & hugs going your way.

(((Mary))) I'm so sorry you're having problems, but I'm glad you're going to the doctor. IIRC, you had a band to sleeve revision? I hope that everything is okay for you. I know it's tough when you can't even hold water down. Please let us know what the doctor says.

went to the doctor and he sent me for an upper gi. no leaks or blockages just lots of swelling. it is like getting at my esophgus and it taking a very long time to actually go into the stomach due to the swelling right there. It is going through just taking time. I also received some IV fluids to help me get rehydrated. and some nausea meds and some meds to help my stomach stop spasming. I am feeling a little better was able to actually eat 4 oz yogurt this afternoon and I am trying to drink a little milk that is not going as well. did spit that back up.

I have to return to the doctor on wednesday and I have already been told due to the excessive swelling I will probably have another round of IV fluids to help my body along and keep me well hydrated.

keep me in thought and prayers...oh yeah have lost 24 pounds : )

Mary, bless you for going through this ordeal. You are in my prayers and I'm also sending you warm hugs. Please keep us postedon you progress and dr appt.

{{{HUGS}}} Sending you healing prayers. I hope this swelling lessens soon for you.
