Ugh, Not Again



Recommended Posts

Dumped yet again... That's everyday now for the past five days... I'm eating slow, following all the rules about avoiding certain foods, spacing out my Fluid intake properly... This just sucks!... What makes it worse yet is having my friends and family seeing/hearing me go through the process and the expressions of angst and sorrow on their faces breaks my heart.

Vomiting every day and for no apparent reason may not be dumping. Dumping is most often associated with sugar but it can also be the result of carbs or fats. If you don't think any of those are present in high enough levels in your diet, probably be a good idea to run it by your doctor.

have you checked to see if you have a stricture? A few members on here report similar issues like you have and it ended up being a stricture which has to be diagnosed by your doctor and it can be fixed with a procedure done normally a couple times, but not unbearable and certainly better than being sick every day.

Do check it out. I was vomiting non stop 7 days straight even while on the phone with my surgeon. Not even 72 hour later appt get endoscopy done & my stomach closed they open it & all my issues are gone.

Something does not sound right... I have thrown up but it was because what I ate was just not sitting right but that has only happened a few times. If you are following your doctor's orders then something is wrong... please make a appt. to see him... it does sound like stricture.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
