Still Sick

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

Other than plain Water and soda, what have you tried?

Have you tried different temperatures? Have you tried Water enhancers, infusions, teas, etc?

What Protein supplements have you tried?

Have you tried clear Protein supplements like Isopure, ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates, Syntrax nectar, etc?

The only case that I remember that is almost as extreme as yours is a woman who had her pouch sewn so incredibly small that she was eating thimble size meals. Many, many a day and still not able to get her daily volume in. Her hair was falling out. Her teeth were falling out. She was a wreck.

Back to basics. The three elements that are key are fluids, Vitamins and Protein. If you can tolerate Water, then meet you daily Fluid requirements with Water. Preferably filtered water, not tap water. Please keep experimenting until you solve these three. Your surgical team needs to be involved in solving your problems.

My hair is falling out and I drink filtered Water. Would they not of seen the pouch when they the 3 scopes?

I would go back to the hospital and demand answers. If you had your surgery in June and still cannot eat or drink anything now, something is severely wrong and needs to be addressed.

This is definately a complication and they may need to put you on TPN. I am sorry this is happening to you but go now,.....you can die from dehydration.

[pdallariva 57]

Thank you for all of the helpful information. I called my dr and he said just keep trying to drink Water. He said to call back on Monday.

@@pdallariva Have you been nauseated since the surgery? Or is it just recently and only when you try to eat?

@@pdallariva there are a lot of different things that could be causing the problems you are experiencing. Has the doctor that is treating you done blood work to check your Vitamin levels? If you have not seen a doctor other than your surgeon, I would see your regular doctor and see who they want to refer you to based on your symptoms. Its been long enough and you need to get to the bottom of what is really happening to you so that you can get appropriate treatment. Many things can cause nausea including Vitamin b1 deficiency and damage to your vagus nerve. You want to see someone who is going to take the time and do the necessary tests to get to the bottom of it. Good Luck to you!

@@melvin5ft2 She'll definitely be deficient in everything - she hasn't been able to keep anything down since surgery. :-( I think it's time to go to the ER and not leave until you get help.

[Djmohr 6,965]

Personally I would absolutely NOT wait until Monday. I would go now and tell them you are not leaving until they figure how what the hell is going on. This is not healthy nor normal.

I might even suggest finding a different Bariatric surgeon that can and will look for what is wrong.
