The dr again wanted to send me home and wait it out. I told him no. I want the scope. He said there is risk that I may get a perforation in the stomach or there is other risks too. I stood my ground! So he is going to do surgery tomorrow. Only problem is I will miss trick or treat with my kids this year.

Have they tried steroids (decadron) to decrease some of the swelling. I'm back in the hospital too, the steroids are helping tremendously, however it's still difficult getting my Fluid and Protein in. Hope this helps! Remember, you're your own advocate, stay squeeky to get things done and let them know exactly what you need and are feeling ;-)

Take care!

Make sure they're still infusing fluids, you'll be ok for a bit without TPN BUT NOT FLUID!!!!

TAKE CARE!!!!

(I'm a RN, so I know a little bit healthcare wise...)

I made a fuss about the fluids and he is giving them now until 10. But I may push for longer cause I'm very dehydrated right now I go to throw up and I don't even have spit anymore :0( they are being nice up on the floor and I got to pet a yellow lab therapy dog which is owned by one of my nurses and she was dressed up as tinker bell

Well they did the scope and dr said he didn't know what to expect cause he had never done one early, but said the shape was correct. He said its open now but doesn't know if the pain could be caused by something else or the way the stomach is laying inside. He said we just have to wait it out!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
