It's been almost three weeks since my surgery and I still am not able to eat or drink. The day after surgery my stomach swelled shut and I was givin a pic line and I'm on TPN nutrition. I went back last week and had the barium test to see if my stomach had opened yet it has slightly opened but still can't eat or drink without feeling nauseated or getting sick has this happened to anyone else and how long sis it last for

I would insist for a leak test and that they keep you long enough to get your pain under control. Or send you home with something to keep the pain tolerable. Dont settle for less!

Dont give up! It's only the beginning, things will heal! Some people just take a different route in getting well. I'm healing slowly too. Yesterday was my first day since surgery (10/25) that I got all my Protein consumed...still working on my Water...

This too shall pass, stay plugged in for support and keep your chin up!!

Hugs and prayers for you. Please keep us updated.

Go team!

Dr took TPN away yesterday night even after I teied to tell him I'm still throwing up. I got sick last night in the middle if the night and really bad this morning. I'm frustrated I need to find a new dr. I can't use Good Samaritan cause I owe money. Dose any one have the name and number to the dr at Miami valley hospital in Dayton oh and can you tell me if he's good my dr just won't listen to me

My doctor is out of Miami valley and I love him. His name is dr teel. Number is 937-208-5300. Just had my surgery on nov 6th and I am doing well. Good luck.

I have a line infection so they pulled the pic the drs will not give me anything for pain. My surgeon even came in and said you have an infection and I agree you don't need anything for pain cause there is no source if pain :0) I'm laying here crying wishing I never did this stupid surgery!! I was trying to get better not sicker and why the hell didn't I just go to Miami valley hospital instead? I warn you all make sure you trust your dr . Because he's the one that should be standing by you to get better!!

! Where are you now? This whole thing sucks!

You need to contact the hospital administrator immediately!!!! They should have a care line that you can call for someone to help you.

Hopefully this helps.
