I can't keep anything down...

Hi everyone.

I'm 3 weeks and 5 days post op. I've had a bumpy journey so far.

2 days after surgery I was doing great. Ready for discharge.. And right when I got up to sign the release I dislocated my kneecap, chipped it, and tore the connecting ligaments and tendons. So I got to stay in the hospital an additional 3 days. The first week or so at home went fine.. No vomiting, I was able to transition to full liquids with no problem.. Then I went for my 2 week check up. The surgeon said I looked great.. 25 pounds lighter, I felt awesome. As soon as I got home from the appointment everything changed. I started vomiting after every meal. But I could hold down milk and water.. So I was fine with it. I had a few bites of yogurt here and there.. And that was ok. All until yesterday. I can no longer eat or drink anything. Not even ice chips..

So what should I do? I haven't slept from the constant vomiting. I'm scared that I might of developed a stricture.. Even though I know it usually takes 4 weeks.

Any advice?

Woa call your doctor then I bet you need to back!!!!!!!

That sounds like a blockage and I would check now!!!!!! Put in an emergency call to doctor right away don't wait

Agree. What you are describing is not normal. Call your doctor.

You are in a dangerous situation. You will dehydrate quickly. And maybe pull stitches. If you can't see your doctor, go to the hospital, NOW. You have to take good care of yourself, you have had major surgery. Good luck. I hope you are fine. Out us know.
