Picc line?

[Dashofpixiedust8 1,469]

So to top this week off of still being in the hospital since Sunday I am still so nauseous and unable to drink much so my doctors have put in a picc line. I will have get TPN infusions every night starting tonight and continuing when I get home. This will give me my Protein, fluids, and nutrients I'm not getting from eating and drinking. I may need to do that for 6-8 weeks ???? Has anyone else had to do this after surgery? What was your experience?

Thank you, it's definitely been frustrating. I just want to feel better and they say it could be a week or months before I feel better. They said it's just a waiting game which I don't want to hear!

I'm not sure. I had my sleeve May 27th and had bad pain for 3 weeks. Then came the extreme nausea and I was admitted to the hospital where they did a swallow test where they found I had a kink in the end of my pouch that was restricting things from going through easily. They were able to dilate it but don't really know when I'll feel better. Since I'm still not able to eat or drink much they are sending me home with a picc line so I won't be dehydrated and malnourished

I still feel pretty bad. I still can't really eat or drink anything. I'm not overwhelmingly nauseous 24/7 anymore but I still have a lot of nausea. I called my doctor on Friday and they said if I'm still having so much trouble over the weekend I can a) go to ER again call on call surgeon c) call them back Tuesday morning and they can maybe get me in for another procedure. I'm trying to hold off until Tuesday
