Hey guys and gals. So I'm back in the hospital. I hadn't eaten anything for aout 9 days bc I always feel so nauseated. I was really feeling downright terrible so I went to the emergency room on Thursday Morning. I've been here since. My arms are all swollen and bruised bc they had to poke me 7 times before they could get the iv started. They said my veins were deflated due to dehydration. I still feel very nauseated. They did a really aggressive endoscopy yesterday. I hope the stricture heals and my stomach remains open. There's a lot of scar tissue. This really isn't what I signed up for and yea they do mention the risks before hand but no one told me it would be this bad. I really wish I never had this surgery. So in the meantime I'm just laying here miserable....trying to get better. I'm including a pic of my arm so you can see how its all bruised from the numerous iv pokees

I know exactly how u feel I wish I had never had the op, fed up of feeling nausea every time I eat or drink

Ive also been hospitalised for dehydration, and at the moment I'm feeling extremely low

Oh that's awful! Feel better soon! I'm nervous because Tom I'm

Just 2 weeks out!

Oh no don't give up. Everyone says this is the best thing! When did your nausea begin? Right away?

I feel so bad for you. I hope this time everything goes well. I'm praying for you.

Hang in there ladies it will get better its just a bump in the road to a better way of life I was feeling the same way before I still have my bad days and it's been 2 months but the bad days are getting less and less I have more good than bad now. .

Feel better soon & in the long run I'm sure this will be one of the best decision you made. Just a bumpy road right now.

I don't feel better at all. I haven't eaten in 2 weeks and even then it was just 2 spoons of yogurt. I never feel good or normal. Its hurting my family bc they feel bad that they can't do anything to help me..EXTREME BUYERS REMORSE! If one more person says hang in there I'm gonna scream. Unless they're the ones going through it they have no idea how truly horrible this is. I'm an incest survivor as well as a domestic abuse survivor and this by far is the worse I've ever felt in my life. Id give anything for a "do-over"

That makes me so nervous as I am only two weeks out. When did that start for you?

About 2 wks post op

Wow Anjela I really don't have words that can make you feel better. I feel very sorry that you are going thru all that! I pray God to turn your situation fast to a positive one - take care and we are all here to at least give your one positivism in someway thru our post! GodBless you!

I'm sorry I'm just seeing your message. I was in the hospital from the 10th-18th.....they said the stricture was cleared but the ulcer wasn't. I think I need to be dialated again bc I'm vomiting again. I couldn't eat/drink anything in the hospital. My veins were too deflated for IV's so I had a triple picc line put directly in my chest. I was fed TPN through a nutrition bag like they give people that are in comas and can't feed themselves. It was pretty bad. I am once again not eat but still trying to drink enough to stay hydrated. Its a holiday weekend so I will call the surgery team on Tuesday to see if they want me to re-admit myself into the hospital........again :'(

Oh my that is terrible! I'm so sorry that this journey has been hell for you! Hopefully they will get things sorted out and you will be able to eat again soon!

Oh my goodness take care of yourself

Sorry I keep forgeting my itouch isn't working,and I'm trying to reply.

I'm sorry your having problems. I hope soon you will be feeling better. I know it must be horrible,but even though I didn't have the gastric bypass yet. I know how you feel,because with my last pregnancy I ran into complication so of course no one but you won't understand,and you don't wanna hear crap. I had swollen feet for over 1 week,and I had a nurse in the house to watch over me. I couldn't walk my feet were like football so I can understand. I was in pain,and even had to call my mother to come cook for me. I can tell you that I feel things will get better soon. It will take time but you will be fine in the long run. I took me like a month for me to bond with my now 2 year old. I look at my baby,and say "it was worth having you".. I went threw a blood transfusion,swollen feet,bleeding in the incision,my body got swollen also. I never ever had blood pressure,but my pressure was high for a while. I was in bad shape. Sending you hugs.
