6 Weeks Post Op, Come on Doc!

So I am 6 weeks post op today and started having serious abdominal pain that was radiating pain to my chest and back. I am

Very nauseous and started vomiting yellow bile because I can't eat anything. I went to the ER last night and everything checked out fine. They gave me a shot of Levsin to reduce the spasms in my stomach. I was fine when I went home but I guess being doped up with Dilaudid helps with that. They sent me home and diagnosed me with "unknown abdominal pain". I woke up at 6am and it was all back! Yay, but lets add yellow diarrhea to the description. I called my sleeve doctor and he made me drive an 1hr 1/2 to see him at there Emergency room. So I get to start this all over once again. I just wanted to vent..Ugh.

Okay, here's my update.

I had an infection in my staple line, a severe stomach virus and dehydration. I guess with as little as our stomachs are, Viruses impact us worse. I still have diarrhea and nausea but no vomiting. I was put back on Clear liquids due to my staple line getting an infection. I am on my way home though :) after being in the hospital for 5 days I am pretty excited about that. They put me on Benzyl, phenergan, Lortab and Benadryl. On Benadryl because I some how just became allergic to medical tape. Hey On a good note, i lost 7lbs though because I pooped it out, lol.. Yay!!!

Good news.. That's great and so happy they figured things out! Now.. Welcome to the losers side of things and good luck on your journey
