Could use some help for my Fiance...She had her surgery last night.



Recommended Posts

Guess she didn't rest well and is still vomiting/cant keep stuff down. She goes in to see the doctor at 11, so hopefully that goes well and maybe she'll have some nausea medicine or something.

I hope they gave her some anti-nausea meds. My first night in the hospital the pain meds were making me very nauseated and they were able to give me anti-nauseas to keep from throwing up. If they haven't offered, maybe ask for some? I hope she turns the corner soon!

I know its been a few days, but I have been busy with work and trying to take care of her. I am ecstatic because this morning she woke up and everything seemed to be a complete 180. She actually smiled today, and I hadn't seen a real one of those since her surgery. She hasn't thrown up in 2 days and she's been sipping on water/broth/sugar-free juice all day to stay hydrated. I think we're on the home stretch, just wanted to update everyone and thank you all for your help and support. Definitely not my last post here. Also, I have her taking a prevacid daily, that's okay, right? She's craving solid foods already.l, which I think is the only hard part now.

Robster, this sounds great. Any surgery is scary. It is downhill now. Smile! I am on Prilosec for the rest of my life. Give her broth and popsicles and according to her doctor's plan. Tell her I said hugs, and get moving, walk as much as possible. I drove in 2 days and shopped 5 days later at the mall. I am loving my life at 68! God Bless you both on this journey. Linda

The Prevacid is fine. My surgeon prescribed me Prevacid for 3 months after surgery. If over the counter doesn't seem to work, have her ask her PCP for the prescription strength. Glad she's doing better!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
