Status post surgery something went wrong

I had a sleeve done on March 23rd. Went from Water on day one. Then I went to Clear liquids before I left which was 5 days got to drink one Protein shake. I knew right off the bat something was wrong. I couldn't take in as much as they wanted me to I began to dehydrate after 3 weeks I went to my urine was unbelievable they tried to stick me with an IV 5 times they couldn't get it that doctor sent me home I was frightened because of the color of my urine. The next day I managed to get squeezed in to see the doctor. Immediately send me to the infusion room 4 to liters of Fluid. The Specialist there who put in IVs tried to stick Me 3 times they were not successful. Now I was in danger my veins were collapsing from dehydration. The doctor said to put in a PICC line which I have now I give myself a bag of fluid at home everyday my bladder hurts I can't keep more than 2 ounces in my stomach. They did a GI series with a discovered the middle of my small pouch had narrowed and they don't know why and I don't know how they're going to fix it so I'm back on liquids for at least another 3 weeks.

My surgeon explained to me that sometimes there can be a narrowing of the remaining stomach; I have experienced the same symptoms, but not to the extreme you have. He explained to me that occasionally that area needs to be stretched out through endoscopy. I hope the best for you. I can only imagine how you just feel.

@@my eyes are hungry If you have a stenosis the simplest way to fix stomal stenosis is with a procedure called endoscopic dilation. Your doctor will perform an endoscopy and inflate a special balloon into the new connection to your stomach, to make it bigger. If that's indeed what is wrong?

Keep your head up it will all work out in the end!!! Keep us posted on your progress and I will surely keep you in prayer. Praying for swift recovery

Eegads I hope things improve for you. Keep up the fluids.

Sorry to hear this happened, and glad that you kept seeking help. I hope it all improves for you from here.

Im no doctor but I wish someone had told me that I might not be able to tolerate plain Water. Try apple juice watered down, crystal light, ginger tea ( make sure you strain it), decaf tea. Using these tricks I was able to get more fluids in. I hope things turn around for you soon!
