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.

I am so sorry fir your struggles. I hope this gets better soon. I can't believe they sent you home with out help. What a mess this had been for you. Sending prayers for you and your wives recovery. Please try to walk. We don't want to add blood clot to your list!!

Ditto. We'd like to hear an update from you @nprcowboy. How are you and how is your wife recovering from her surgery?

Yeah, what they said :-)

Sorry folks. Haven't been on in a few days. Been a rough go. Still struggling with fluids but a bit better. Living on water and a bit of chicken broth maybe 100 calories a day. Cut tolerate much. Also hit a wall each evening and cut complete my med regiment at end of night or will throw it up. The nausea and hunger are killing me. Cant even tolerate protein shakes. Hoping I wake up one day and I can resume normal stage stuff. 5 weeks so far on liquids is killing me. My wife is doing great I her recoveey and is ahead of schedule. On day I went to get her for discharge wound up being a nightmare. She was so excited to go home and on morning of discharge they say they found tumor cells from the liver biopsy. They did a full body scan. No masses found but she has to follow up with oncologist. I've lost 50 lbs since preop diet. It look haggard and sickly. I'd trade it all back to not feel sick like this. I cant live on water and nausea. So still not out of the woods. Your support and prayers Have been appreciated.

Sorry for typos. Not a good morning. Holding barf bag as usual. Sorry. That's what even a sip of water does to me

So sorry to hear you're having such a rough time. Hopefully things will right themselves soon.

Hang in there, friend. You are home and taking in what you can. It will get better, and we are here to listen and encourage you. Sending positive vibes re:your wife.

I'm late finding this thread. What a horror show you have been through. I hope and believe that things will turn around soon.

I too had h pylori discovered during my sleeve surgery. They said it did not show up during my pre-op EGD. The surgeon prescribed a very aggressive course of antibiotics, which I was told to crush and take along with all my other crushed meds. The antibiotics made me so nauseous that I couldn't keep anything down.

After a week of failing to get in an appreciable amount of medication or nutrition, and becoming severely dehydrated, I ended up delaying the treatment of the h pylori until after my stomach had recovered. I don't know if your case is similar to mine, but you might ask your doctor if you could just concentrate on healing now and treat the h pylori later.

I'm glad your wife is doing well. Now to get you well. What does your dr say. This is obviously not normal. Please feel better soon

My goodness. Many prayers coming your way.

My surgeon stinks. Discharged me when I only showed I could get 10 ounces down and expected me to resume day 3 post op diet. Idk what to do. Going backwards again with liquids and health since discharge. iv must have helped while hospitalized

Plus I have an ulcer is what I think they said. My new stomach is almost 5 weeks post op

I wasn't able to drink more than that at discharge. In fact it probably took me at least a week to even get 40 ounces in. It may be as one poster mentioned you body trying to do double duty and fight the H pylori and heal.

I too am so sorry that you are having to go through so much misery, to become a healthy you. I have a esophagus gastritis, so I had to do a EGD as one of my clearance for surgery. My EGD was done on 11/18, I was told on 12/1 that my biopsy was positive for h pylori. My GI doctor order amoxicillin 500mg 4 times a day & doxycycline 100mg 2 times a day. I will be finish taking them on the 15th & my surgery is schedule for the 29th.

Hearing your ordeal had Freaked me out!!!! I just called a left a message for the bariatric nurse to call me. Wishing you a speedy recover!!!!
