For the past week and a half, everything I out in my mouth comes back up. I went to see my Doctor Wednesday and he admitted me into the hospital for severe dehydration and to see if there was an obstruction keeping food from going down. There was a small curve at the top of my stomach that was keeping food from staying down. He did an endoscopy with a balloon to stretch out the curve and into the next day everything appeared to be better. I was able to keep some Jello down as well as some chicken broth. I came home Friday but Saturday morning I woke up and threw up again and have been ever since. I'm so frustrated and family keeps pushing for me to eat something...'something needs to be on your stomach' but as you can imagine, the last thing I wanna do is eat something if I'm just going to throw it up. Last night after throwing up there was a little blood in the throw up which if course freaked me out and made me search online for hours into the night. I feel like crap and have now missed a whole week of work, tomorrow adding another day. I don't know what to do. I love my doctor but he doesn't seem to think that there is anything serious going on. I'm thinking, 'how does one survive on ice chips alone??' Has anyone else experienced this? Am I alone? Am I justified in believing that my doctor is being a little too laid back?? Help!

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.

I am so sorry you are going through this!!!

How are you feeling today?

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.

Thanks! @@maggiemayuk

Did they not give u Actigal to take after ur surgery to protect ur gall bladder?!? Most surgeons if u still have ur gall bladder prescribe it. Rapid weight kiss fries ur gall bladder ???? he should have known that!

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.
