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!

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
