Its been a week post op and I feel horrible. Seems like everyone is better by now. I was feeling a little better each day the first 4 days and then worse and worse. It started when I started full liquids but I haven't been able to get more than an oz or so of most things. First i got short of breath and pounding heart. That lasted a few days and when it seems to improve now I have horrible nausea. I have been able to get my water down but if I take a sip of anything else then I immediately have nausea that last forever. Not vomiting. Nothing to vomit. Some retching. Went to the er and they seemed a little bothered I was there. They did some cat scans and said everything was fine and that some people just feel this way and nothing they can do about it.

Sho got that right. I think any way we need to do what we can to support each other, once we're dumped.

I am until I go.

Ct was clear. Now he wants me to wait until next appt next Wednesday. Sigh.

Anyone experienced rotten egg burps? What can that be? Also what about probiotics? Do they help? Now just trying to think of anything I can to cure myself. Any home remedies that work to kill infection?

PHEW ...

still something is going on. Ok, I'm sorry but this ... head to ER if you need it.

Yes, food and I didn't get along well. Food and I have never gotten along at times. Give it a shot. I didn't do well with them but you need to try and it and see if it works for you. You don't know, I shift around because sometimes things work and sometimes they don't. I give them a shot. Its worth it you know?

Glad to hear no other surgery is needed but frustrating to be back in the spot where he thinks I'm fine

As I have found to my cost, they only move when you are at deaths' door, and sometimes not even then. Its more costly that way, the mindset of medical education.

Sad ... I'm sorry for your suffering. I just wish I had the ability to do more.

I was having the same problem when I was about 8 or 9 days out. I went to the emergency room they did xrays and they said that there was blood that pooled in my stomach and it had gotten very large and was laying on my stomach and that's what was causing all the symptoms . I had the exact same symptoms but I was also dehydrated which is what made me feel worse so they hook me up to IV gave me pain meds I stayed overnight but they said the blood that pulled in my stomach would just go away on its own. I will begin to feel better so its been about 3 or 4 days since then and I do feel much better.if the ER is not doing anything for you I agree you should call your surgeon or your doctor's office

I had the same symptoms a few days out ...i thought maybe i caught a mild pneumonia or something ..maybe i had the same thing as you .i never went to the doc thought..those first few weeks were rough

My surgeon and PCP both told me some people need iv fluids during the first 3 weeks...I wonder if that would help you. Dehydration is a horrid feeling. My surgeon office was very supportive and encouraged me to call and be seen as needed.

Was that all the time or farther out? I have needed it farther out and the surgeon indicated it was someone elses' problem to deal with and I wasn't making a hard enough effort "discipline".

He didn't take into account gastroparesis, reflux, IBS and food intolerances ...

What alternative methods or meds have assisted everyone with GERD, Gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying)? I have been suffering horribly this last month (6 mos out from surgery). I am not keeping anything down. I am taking Protonix and Reglan which are not helping.

Have you tried Unjury chicken soup flavor? That went down much better for me the first week than the milk-based products.
