I am so sick. Throwing up scared

I've. Been sick all day. Trying hard to not throw up. I'm 7 weeks post op. I finally couldn't help it..I threw up and it hurt so bad. I am hoping my sleeve is ok. Has anyone been sick since they had the sleeve. .. I'm also very dehydrated now and I can't keep any liquid in me.

Seven weeks post op you probably haven't done any damage - I think that while there's still healing going on, the staple line is pretty much sealed. That said, you might want to give your doctor a call in the morning, and do your best to try and drink something, eat a SF popsicle, anything to get liquid in. If you still can't keep any liquids down by morning, it's doubly important that you call your doctor, and make sure he knows that you aren't able to keep liquids down at all.

Good luck!

Like SpaceDust said I would definitely get in touch with the doctor in the morning, if you're getting too dehydrated you might have to go to the hospital for some iv fluids and anti-nausea medication to help you keep fluids down when you leave.

I had a few bouts of nausea after surgery and a full blown stomach bug and my two favorite things for those times were a dose of dramamine (or the patch, both work great) and sipping on some room temp gatoraide. Water always makes me more nauseated when I'm feeling sick and the gatoraide seems to settle the stomach a bit. My doc ok'd the dramamine but if your doc has an after hours nurse you might want to check it just to make sure. Peppermint tea is also a good stomach soother if you have any of that in the house.

Hope you can find some relief soon ^_^ Sending lots of good stomach soothing thoughts your way!

I'm certainly not a doctor but you are probably close to being totally healed. Sounds like you have a stomach bug or a virus. May very well be unrelated to your surgery.

I hope that you are starting to feel much better. Take care xo

i think Jeff is right. being so far out from surgery it's prob a stomach bug but heed the advice of everyone and contact the doctor...feel better!
