Im still at the hospital in pain, nauseous and can't keep liquids down.

Yesterday I was vomiting blood. Today its just liquids.

I also can't pee- so ive had catheters.

I had my band removed in April.

Then on july 8th a gastric bypass and hital hernia repair.

Hi I am sorry that you are going through so much please call your nurse and ask her can you speak with your doctor on their rounds so that your concerns can be address, sending prayers your way and keep us posted.

The nurse & dr have spoken. I saw my dr this morning. He doesnt know why I can't keep liquids down.

Is a catheter common in WLS or only in certain situations?

I had a catheter after surgery. Glad I had it to I was so doped up, I couldn't of walked to the bathroom.

I didn't have a catheter but I was able to get up and walk.. The walking actually helped with the pain. I am so sorry you're having problems:/ just remember this will all be worth it. And you only have to go though if once!!

So sorry to hear, I went in on 7th had some nausea and dizziness with LBP. No catheter. I have noticed a trend and I could be ring, those with hernia repair seem to have it rougher.

I've been walking a lot. Finally managed to urinate on my own. But at midnight went back to npo status due to vomiting.

They're pumping me so full with iv fluids. I was 198.2 on Tuesday- day of surgery & am now 218. My legs are swollen. I walk 4 laps around the hospital floor every 2 hours.

I became allergic to dilouttid now so am on demoral for pain.

This has been really rough. I hope in the end it's worth it.

4td day post op

My surgeon think im very swollen where the pouch meets the intestine. If he's right then as I heal I should be able to tolerate liquids

So sorry you are struggling... try to remember this is temporary and things will get better. It's easy to be overwhelmed and get depressed thinking you'll be this way for life.

About catheters, I didn't have one after surgery. I guess all doctors do something different. But, I have heard about people having to have them put in if they can't urinate.

Ginger snaps I can relate. I had severe nausea the first two days after surgery. My doctor said it was due to the swelling from surgery. But I was miserable and had buyers remorse because I was so sick. Now that the nausea is gone, I am glad I had the surgery. Just really sore but no pain. I pray that your nausea will improve soon. Ask them for a patch for nausea too. It goes behind your ear and is suppose to help. Praying for you!
