I feel terribly bad for you. I hope that discharge plan includes infusing parenteral nutrition (TPN or PPN) and not just IV fluids. You are at a high risk for developing malnutrition if you haven't already. Why won't they repair your sliding hiatal hernia? And how is your wife?

She's doing well. She didn't come see me today. Been lonely here. As far as hernia they decided that wasn't the issue nor will be. So they know nothing. If I can get TPN iv us me sometime to find other specialists. Without it, at home I die with lack of fluids. So I knew better than to check out against medical advice. Heck they put the scopAlomine seasickness patch on me a day are giving me phenagran for nausea. That's it besides the iv fluids

This is what I'm terrified of. I'm self pay and afraid something will go wrong.

They don't know what is wrong but they are sending you home anyways? That's scary. I hope they get it figured out soon. I am so sorry that this is happening to you.

OK I'm home. Home nursing coming soon to hook me up on round he clock iv fluids and meds. At least I won't get sicker until such time this gets figured out. Also going to find specialist tomorrow. So not out of woods but can live until can tolerate Fluid on my own.

What a horror show you've been living through. I hate to make hasty assumptions, but it seems like your surgeon is not very competent. Insurance notwithstanding, you need another professional opinion. Please contact your PCP and tell him/her everything you have been through. Make sure it is all documented. Your PCP might be hesitant to step on your surgeon's toes, but make him/her understand that you feel your life is threatened. I think that would get your PCP involved. Doctors don't like to look bad in front of their colleagues. With more scrutiny, your surgeon might start thinking more thoroughly and creatively about your issues.

I'm really wishing you the best.

Im glad your home thats the best place to be instead of in and out of the ER so many infections you can get. Hopefully with home care and maybe you can get a Dr to home visit and monitor you everything will work out. I keep thinking about you and thank you for sharing all this its important to tell stories like this...

I am starting TPN IV tonight due to malnutrition. At least it will help me get nutrition so I'm not so weak anymore. I have no energy now, Lathargic. Specialist said could be ILEAS and should just clear up on its own in time. Sounded like temp paralysis of lower intestine or part of new stomach section. Not sure. Once my nutritional values are restored I may get better. Will keep you updated

@@nprcowboy, his assumption of an ileus was based on your exam today or from reviewing your radiology films? Did your CT and abdominal x-rays show an ileus? That TPN is long overdue; I said it two weeks ago. Smh.

Saying prayers for you. Hope you are soon out of the woods with all this soon and feeling better. I am so sorry you've been going thru so much hell. I know you are worried about your insurance coverage but I think it's time for your wife and you to start making a fuss and getting the care you need to get well. It isn't supposed to be like this. Keeping you in prayer!

Another specialist another thought. Out of 3 none know what's going on. Now I can stop vomiting and nothing buy bile. Too weak to get out of bed much and when I do its to vomit. Can't do much more if this

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
