unable to keep down liquids

[Leena 108]

I'm 12 days out and as of last night started throwing up. I had this issue in the hospital apparently the area where my pouch and intestines meet swells shut. My surgeon is giving me til 5pm to get in fluids and keep them in otherwise its back to the hospital and ivs.

Advice please because I really don't want to go back. My first stay was 5 days. I also have a home health nurse who's treating an abscess so I don't want to go in with open wounds.

Thanks-Leena

Wow Leena, you have had a rough go of it! I really hope your problems are all resolved soon. Going back into the hospital might not be such a bad thing. Could help you get past these problems. Good luck to you.

I'm back in the hospital on ivs and meds via iv. Still vomiting up bile. My surgeon thinks it's too soon for a stricture. I'll be 2 weeks out tomorrow. He thinks it's just swelling. So he's keeping me here until it stops.

I had a similar experience but I couldn't keep down mushy foods once I got to that phase around the second week. My doc put a scope down my throat and dilated where my intestine was attached to the pouch. It was to narrow. This was an easy peasy procedure and I have had 0 problems since. I am 8 weeks out now. I'm actually shocked your doc hasn't done this already.
