Hi everyone new here, just wanted to share my story hoping it will help someone in the future. And at the same time share your experience please. I was sleeved 12/22/15 with no complications week 3-5 post op I noticed how I was extremely nauseous and really didn't want to eat nor hardly drink. I was told it was normal so I figured it would pass..then week 5...got off of work on a Wednesday evening..and had this extreme feeling of cold and shaking to where I could hardly drive..I went home covered myself with 4 blankets and still couldn't warm up. I then had my husband call the surgeon and I then began to puke. My husband was told to rush me in..so we drove an hour to the e.r where my temp was 101.6 and my heart rate was high..I was automatically admitted. Ultrasound, ct scan and they believed I had a leak. Then the next morning I had a swallow test and well..I didn't have one but they discovered I had liquid and air in my stomach cavity. Oh and did I mention I had an infection.(sepsis) I was told I had an abscess or pinhole leak that healed itself. So I stayed in the sticu for 2 days npo, so very nauseous I felt horrible.. I was hooked up with loads of antibiotics and iv fluids...once everything was stable enough for the surgeon I was moved to a less monitored area..I was extremely dizzy and weak so I stayed there for 3 days, and am home as of yesterday...the only thing I am worried about is if there was "fluid" inside my abdominal cavity shouldn't I have had a drain put in..I'm just a tad bit worried as now that I'm home my side is kinda bothering me...any help would be greatly appreciated!!

God bless????

I'm 3 weeks post op and for the past 3 days I have been so nauseous and throwing up at least once a day. My doctor advice Pepdid AC and nausea meds. He thinks it's acid reflux that is causing my nausea. I feel horrible! I am so weak. I am able to drink Water all day and I can eat light foods like Jello and yogurt but I can't do proteinuria shakes. I just want to feel normal again!!!

One thing I will say is listen to your body..If you feel something is wrong..go with your gut...the place I got mine done at told me it was just acid reflux and all my signs were normal..next week I was in the hospital ...I will admit some progress differently but overall if u don't feel something is right get a second opinion..

Did you have a problem with extra saliva? I do and it's gross. I'm constantly spitting it out because it's so much.
