Been so sick 3 weeks post op. Can't get fluids down. Woken up vomiting bile, brown mucus and blood thus morning. Vomited yesterday too but not blood. I just want them to find out what's wrong with me. Was sleeved nov 6th. Was doing OK a week or 2 out and started getting sick 6 days ago. Went to ER this past Monday. But they have me some fluids and a cat scan and blood work and didn't find anything except some esophageal swelling. They should have done an EGD. Going to an different ER. Been on straight gatorade for 4 days and getting worse. I should have went in yesterday but didn't want to ruin thanksgiving. Appreciate the prayers. I just want to get well.

@@nprcowboy - Please don't give up. What you had yesterday was probably the amount I was able to take in during my first few days post op and in many ways you body is at that level. Still call the doctor, but try to at least meet that level and don't push as hard. Since Protein drinks count towards Fluid that's 67 ounces of fluid yesterday so you aren't at risk of dehydration. Anxiety will only make things worse.

You remain in my thoughts.

Wow hope this is just your newly working tummy slowly working. I'm so surprised that with your issues your surgeon dosnt want a lot of contact

I am not on protein shakes at all so water is my only fluids. And the small amount yesterday was from forcing it at risk of throwing up. Will see how next couple of days go but nausea is causing me to not want to eat or drink plus when I do get something down very uncomfortable with pressure in esophagus, same as before even if totally empty prior and have a small sip or bite. Again seems like stomach doesn't want to let stuff in. Total deja vu

@@nprcowboy - Given your history I wouldn't wait a few days. I would call the doctor tomorrow. I would also ask if protein shakes even if only as a back up is an option for you. Perhaps a protein water like propel.

@@nprcowboy I'm so sorry your going thru this again is there any possibility u went a bit too fast drinking and that's causing the nausea or too big of sips maybe I've seen ppl say here that water is awful and feels so heavy that they dilute it with juices I hope u turn around soon and start to feel better will keep u in thoughts and prayers

Omg you have been to hell and back. I'm sorry I came so late to the post. I'm just horrified for you. Healing thoughts and prayers being sent. I lived in Tampa for 25 yrs and just moved here(ky) a few yrs ago. I wish I was there to help out. I hope they can get this worked out for you.

And today the vomiting has returned. I left a msg for surgeon will keep u all posted. They had said they would not do bypass unless they knew the problem which to this day they still don't know why

Hope you are getting the care you need. Saying more prayers for you. Hang in there and try to have faith that you will get through this. You have been and are still incredibly strong and your life and quality of life is worth fighting for.

Headed back to ER will update when can

Hi. My name is Al and live in the Tampa area. After 4 hours in ER last night and told would be another 3 to 4 hours so we left as I'd be there all night waiting for surgeon. Plan to go tomorrow AM. Today's my wife's birthday so don't want to ruin. I was crying like a baby yesterday when my wife wouldn't let me wait a few more days of getting g sicker to go into ER because I'm not ready to get rid of my freedom yet. I've enjoyed being home, tube free etc. So not ready for this again. Love to you all.

My heart hurts for you....... I will pray that the physicians will look deeper and find an alternate treatment for you, or better yet a miraculous intervention. Phil 4:13 You can do all things through Christ! I know you will get better. Xoxoxo
