Plication complications

Recommended Posts

I had the plication march 2012 and I'm in hospital now because of nausea, vomiting blood and abdominal pain. Had a few test done and come to find out my stomach has twisted and there's an obstruction. Not sure why or where we are going from here. They are draining my stomach with a nose drain right now. Since Monday they have drained 1700ml so far. Just took an X-ray waiting to hear back from doctor. Been in hospital sine mon 8:30am about 48 hours. Might have to have surgery.

Going into surgery within hour to see why I'm blocked. Possibly remove the plication, or remove dead stomach if needed.

Basically I popped a top stitch and my stomach kinda of folded over itself making an obstruction. Had surgery Wednesday and they took all the stitches out. I'm getting discharged now came in Monday leaving Friday.

My surgeon was Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. My surgeon here called him and he said take the stitches out.

Warning: try not to throw up. Be careful. If that means taking an hour to eat slowly do it. Don't get too full. Chew chew chew. When your not eating drink liquids.

I'm down 51#s probably more now since I haven't eating since Sunday. Ha.

No they didn't remove any of the stomach. It wasn't dead. I now have a "normal" stomach that needs to heal now.

I'm home now. :)

Dr Ariel Ortiz? Why I'd the stitch pop?

Yes Dr. Ariel Ortiz @ OCC.

I had nausea and vomited thats why the stitch popped out.

Be very very very careful not to throw up. Do everything you can not to.

Chew chew chew, eat slow, stay hydrated and obviously don't over eat. My problem is certain smells make me gag sometimes.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
