I am back in the hospital now. The doctor is saying that it is just a complication from the surgery. I don't want to accept that as an answer, but I guess I'll have to for now. Hopefully I'll go home today with anti nausea meds and just wait it out at home, continuing to get dehydrated.

Oh my Dear I can understand the frustration. I am not anywhere near in the same boat with you however I am fighting nausea. I absolutely can not do Water or I've chips they are the worst for me. I stick with sipping slowly on Protein Drink, juice, or sf popcicle. My dr gave me zofran which dissolves on the tongue an it does seem to help. I hope you are doing better. Please let me know I you find anything that helps.

Thanks. My doctor has given me Zofran along with Reglan to calm my stomach but I am still throwing up. Recent blood work showed elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin. I will have a HIDA scan this week to check my gallbladder to see if that's the issue. I haven't had a lot of pain but just over the past two days the nausea and vomiting have gotten worse. I now have blurred vision and numbness/tingling in my upper legs. I just want all of this to be over. This is going on week four of not being able to keep anything down. My body is tired. I've been admitted in the hospital twice and do not want to go back. I'm determined to go to work tomorrow! I just want some relief, no matter how it comes. Thanks everyone for the encouraging words! I appreciate them.

I am back in the hospital, round three. I had a HIDA scan done yesterday that revealed that my gallbladder is not functioning properly so it will be removed sometime this week. I had a PICC line inserted this afternoon for fluids and nutrients since I am still, after four weeks unable to keep anything down and am super dehydrated. This has not been a fun journey and although I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I am ready for this to be over and to get back to living life. Four weeks out of work, I am going broke and I thank God for insurance but worry about how much will be covered.

They need to give you meds for nausea. I had the sleeve done 4 weeks ago and I've been throwing up on and off sense then. Even just Water. But the nausea pill does help.

I too was admitted again last weekend to the hospital with dehydration. I'm feeling better, but I fluctuate between phase 1 and phase 2.

Just take it slow

I am on nausea medications but at this point, nothing is really helping. It's terrible!

My mother was having similar problems earlier this year that ended up being her gall bladder. When her gall bladder was removed, the problem cleared up immediately. I hope yours does as well.

Had my gallbladder removed last Thursday and am doing much better! Dr released me from the hospital Monday. The hardest thing is making sure I get enough fluids in daily. It's Popsicles and Gatorade for me for a while...

I have a follow up appointment with him tomorrow and am hoping he says I can return to work on Monday. Five weeks out of work now, no good. And next week is only a three day work week so I should be good to go. Thanks for all the concern! Hopefully this will put a stop to my sickness.

Glad to hear you're doing better at last - you've had a tough time. Hope you feel strong enough to go back to work next week - lucky it's just three days.

No, he didn't prescribe that. Oh well, no going back now! It's gone. And I'm glad it's gone cause I'm not sick anymore to the point of not keeping anything down at all.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
