Egd, vomiting, and a small pouch.



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery May 20th and it began with comlications. The first was diarrhea. Every day no matter what I eat. I was taking prescription Imodium with Atrpoine with little success as well as Bentyl for the abd pain. I was often dehydrated. Then came the eating of solid food. Sometimes it would go down sometimes it would get stuck. If it got stuck I would spend hours retching even with nothing in there. Then last Saturday I took my first sip of coffee and because so nauseated that I dry heaved in the bathroom for 15 min, trying to catch my breath any sip of something would set it off again the next day I had an EGD which just showed a mild stenosis which he dialated and told me I have a very small pouch with some ulcers so he prescribed carafate. I'm at a loss as to what else to do. I don't like to eat anymore because of the vomiting even drinking can be painful. I'm getting more and more depressed as the days go on

My intestine where it was connected to my stomach was to narrow and would not allow regular food to pass through. My doc did an EGD and dilated the intestine opening it up some. This fixed my problem and I have never thrown up since. I have heard others say it took 2-3 times for this to fully work. Maybe, discuss this with your doc.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
