Living in Post Op Hell

[princesstia 190]

I said it right. I was originally sleeved on december 20th 2012. About 3-4 weeks out started having major complications with swallowing and nausea and vomiting. A day after my 4th week post op my surgeon ordered an upper gi series and it showed lots of scar tissue causing a stricture between my esophagus and stomach allowing nothing to enter the sleeve. Was scheduled for a repair the following Thursday January 24th and it was worse than the surgeon expected. Turned out to be a 3 hour procedure and I woke up in horrific pain. Today I am 4 days post op from the second surgery and nausea is worse than ever and I'm dry heaving so help me god! My abdomen and left shoulder have sharp pains shooting through them. Will be meeting with surgeon again tomorrow to decide next course of action.. I cannot believe i did this to myself. Honestly, that's just where I am at with this whole situation...

Tomorrow will be 3 months post op for me and I've had a hard time. One month of nauseous and 2 weeks of on and off vomiting (currently). This is the hardest thing I have ever done, I keep telling myself to keep my eyes on the prize but honestly I regret this surgery. I have my 3 month post-op appt tomorrow, hopefully the doctor will be able to help me get through this.

I'm so sorry to hear that you've had so much trouble. I hope you are now on the road to recovery and will be feeling better soon!

Sorry to hear about your complications, Princesstia. How did the doctor feel about your prognosis moving forward after the second surgery? Are the continuing discomfort what he expected? I would stay in CLOSE contact with the doctor's office until you feel better. Daily.
