    Thanks mami! As an update: I spent a not so restful night here. I have had a thousand blood tests done and one of the girls bruised my left arm so they can't take blood from there, they tried my hand

    My doc put me on an anacid perscription when I left the hospital. I believe she does that on a regular basis for at least 6 months for patients because they want to make sure an ulcer doesn't start up

I'm so sorry! I'm 3 weeks Wednesday and I'm feeling like crap lately too. Which is weird because I had been feeling so good. I can only drink water food and protein shakes gross me out.

Best of luck!!

Sorry to hear that :(

Thanks guys. I was the same way with food and protein shakes! My doctor just thought that I needed some anti nausea medication.. He changed his mind when I couldn't even keep water down. :( I just had a ct scan so now I'm just waiting for results. I'll keep you all posted! I hope you feel better too Jen!

Yes please keep us posted!! Are u at the same hospital you had bariatric surgery or a different one?

I hope you both feel better.

But I'm glad you were able to make it to the hospital to have yourself checked out.

And yes please keep us updated.

I'm at the same hospital I had surgery at. They said everything looks ok. They don't know why I'm in pain or why I'm throwing up everything. They also think my stomach is producing a lot of acid so they had me drink this nasty numbing stuff to calm it down. They won't send me home just yet. They want to keep and eye on me and they want me to feel a little better. I'm glad that everything looked ok though! I'm hoping my surgeon can stop in and see me before I leave

Ahh yes a GI cocktail! Did it make you feel any better? Let us know how your doing

Oo yeah it helped a ton! They said I've got some acid issues going on they are giving me a prescription for zofran and some anti acid meds and I'll be on my way home! My surgeon said if I'm not better in 48 hours to come back and see him.. I'm hoping all goes well!!

My doc put me on an anacid perscription when I left the hospital. I believe she does that on a regular basis for at least 6 months for patients because they want to make sure an ulcer doesn't start up while healing. I hope you're feeling better and the meds help!

My Doctor sent me home on a acid reducer for 6 months too so far so good hope you feel better

Get better soon.

I hope you feel better soon sweetie!

Hope you feel better soon

Thank You everyone! I was doing good but I woke up this morning had my antacid medication drank some water and started to vomit again :( I dunno if I should go back or just keep trying to force something down! So frustrating :(

I'm sorry you are not feeling well... Have them do a fluoro x-ray (the one with the nasty drink.) maybe there's a blockage?

I hope this passé soon!!
