    You need to go to the ER immediately, forget about the flight. If you're nauseous now, just imagine how you'd feel on a plane! Plus if you're dehydrated now...this weekend Dallas will be in the triple

    If you went with a WLS coordinator call every damn number they gave you. I would not put it off. I was looking at some of your previous posts and you've been feeling crappy for way to long. You reall

Did you get sleeved in Mexico if so go back to the hospital and see the surgeon before you leave I would.

It's a catch 22. I remember feeling so weak, dehydrated and terrible. I had no appetite so I wasn't taking in enough calories and also felt nauseous. I remember contacting my coordinator and she told me I needed the fluids n calories. I sipped the protein chicken broth and protein shakes and felt better within days. I'm a year out now and never regret it. I remember the first two months though were a little difficult.

My doctor travels everywhere so he's not at the same place anymore.

And I didn't regret the sleeve my first week but now I am. I'm starting to wish I never done it

You sound dehydrated! You need a anti-nausea med to help with the throwing up. At the every least sip some Gatorade G2 to help your electrolytes. You sound like you need to go back to the hospital for dehydration. That is a somewhat common occurrence after surgery in the first few weeks. Please be careful!!

I have one more day until I get home. When I do what's the process like incase I have to go to the hospital ? For dehydration

I think skrubabilen is right on. It sounds like a trip to the ER would be a good idea. Once you get dehydrated its really hard to keep anything down. I don't think your going to die, but it sounds like some medical intervention may be necessary. Good luck.

Sherri is so right. Once you get dehydrated you asrebehind the 8 ball because you get sicker, don't feel hungry or thirsty. You should go to n ER wheretbry can give you IV fluids. Yu will be amazed at how much better you will feel

I know I'm being really stubborn but I don't want to go to the hospital here I feel I will miss my flight for Saturday and I jus can't do it here anymore for the environment in which is not supportin me ;( if I know it won't take that long I will go. Other then that I'd have to wait to hop off my plane in dallas

I meant Sunday

It's hard to say how long it will take. You are taking some chances. If anything, just keep sipping Gatorade. And head to the hospital as soon as you land. But I wouldn't even risk that. Dehydration is serious biz, especially after this surgery because it is such a challenge to get adequate fluid when you are already hydrated let alone when you are so dehydrated that you are this sick. They would need to check your levels and put in an IV and push fluids into you. Are you going to the bathroom at all?

Maybe once a day, and it is dark. Gosh I'm scared out of my mind...

you need to go to the hospital dark urine is not a good sign you need fluids don't mess around

You need to go to the ER immediately, forget about the flight. If you're nauseous now, just imagine how you'd feel on a plane! Plus if you're dehydrated now...this weekend Dallas will be in the triple digit temperature (106 degrees). Sounds dangerous.

If you went with a WLS coordinator call every damn number they gave you. I would not put it off. I was looking at some of your previous posts and you've been feeling crappy for way to long. You really do need to be seen right away.
