6 wks out and feel blah



Recommended Posts

I'm now 6 weeks out, s/p Bypass. I vomit on a daily basis, sometimes multiple times a day. It doesn't matter what I eat or drink. Sometimes it will stay down and other times it won't, even Water. I'm really tired. Can't even stand up in the shower by myself anymore. I don't even have the urge to drink or eat most days. I've had to go in for IV infusions just to keep hydrated. My doctor doesn't seem too concerned. He just keeps giving me more and more meds to try and take and most of the time can't hold them down. Since my surgery, I haven't been able to hold down any Protein Shakes. I drink maybe about 6-8 oz of Fluid generally in a day. Some days I eat nothing and other days I may be able to have a bite of applesauce or 2 bites of an egg. Will this get better soon? Anyone else go through this?

Has he said anything about a possible stricture? I would ask that question. I have known others with the same symptoms and they had a stricture that was not allowing fluids or food of anykind to go down.

I am sorry you are having a complication. I hope they get it figured out soon. I cannot imagine how weak you feel.

I asked him about that last week and he said he didn't think it was necessary to do an EGD because he doesn't think I have one. I've made an appt with my GI doctor, but can't get in with him until the beginning of Jan. I'm not sure I even trust my surgeons opinion at this point.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
