On my way to the hospital. Nervous as heck! Praying The Lord will keep me safe.

Going into day 3. Still at the hospital. Can't hardly get any fluids down

Have they done an upper GI/Barium Swallow to check for a leak or stricture? I'm so sorry you are having it so rough! Big hugs!

Everything went good. Just very sore. My back kills! Idk what they did to me.

Yes!!!!!!!!!! great now look after yourself and take it easy, but not to easy..lol Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

Double post so I tried to delete. In having the hardest time posting today!

Yes my upper Gi looked good. Hopefully this burping and bloating will go away. Anybody else have this problem?

A few things I had in the hospital and I'm not sure what they are giving you but I had little nausea(one we figured paint meds out) and little issues with burping etc...I was on Simethicone(generic gas meds they wouldn't allow me to use the GasX strips everyone told me to bring) I was also on IV meds for my GERD(Protonix) and they had me on a Nausea Patch behind my ear, when I was on the heavy pain meds the first day and super sick I was given IV meds to stop that but I forget the name, but it knocked me out cold lol! Maybe there is something they can give you to try to ease your symptoms...could it possibly be your pain meds?

The burping can also just be some of the gas that's trapped, are you up and walking a lot?

I'm out of the hospital now. Had a couple spoons of broth. I'm scared to swallow my pain meds so I'm trying to deal without. I just do not see how I will get all my protein and water in. I can only sip a little then stop. I also can't lay down. When I do it feels like everything is coming back up! Ugh I'm in the regret phase right now!

Don't give up. I had surgery on Monday and it has slowly gotten better. They did give me liquid pain meds thank goodness. I hope you are feeling better soon. Don't regret your decision, there are good things to come!!

Sending prayers your way!! Sure hope you feel better soon and that the pain goes away.

I hope you are beginning to feel better. I like reading all these posts of people, but it also scares me!!!! I'm having surgery Feb. 4th and I hope to read that you feel better soon!

I am feeling better. Still bloated and my fluids gurgle as they go down but I'm getting used to it. Can't wait until all the air is out.

Everyday gets better. :-)
