So I been suffering for the last few weeks. I believe I have a stricture but my dr does not deal with them so I was referred to her partner. I was suppose to see him on Tuesday but after sitting in the office for 2 hrs my husband was called to work and I had to reschedule for tomorrow. In the mean time I'm surviving on Water and water alone. Last night I had a bad episode of heartburn so I toke my omeprazole and just laid in bed till I passed out at 3 am. Well around 5 this morning I woke up choking and vomited all over myself and my bed. I was home alone as my husband works third shift. I had a major break down. I ended up having to strip my bed and wash sheets at that time. After that I went into the shower and cried for 30 mins.

I don't know how much more I can take of this. I spent all day today sick and dry heaving. I could barely cook my catering orders ( yes I cook for friends as a side business) and just want to sleep all day. Also my heartburn is back and I just want to dig a hole a disappear. I have lost 60 lbs but at what cost?

I'm getting so depressed and just really don't know how much I can take.

You should NOT be having to deal with this. None of this is normal. And your surgeon/surgeon's office refusing to take care of you- that's unacceptable. You could have aspirated the vomit and ended up in very, very bad shape. You need to make it clear to your surgeon's office that something is VERY wrong and you need to be seen ASAP, like tomorrow. Not next week. And if they don't listen, insist. Go to the ER if you need to.

Wow, I feel so bad for you! Have you thought of going to an ER? Did you have sleeve or RNY? Im praying foe you right now. Please keep us posted

I have also been having a really horrid time. Stricture has been ruled out so they have changed my meds for stronger anti sickness and anti acid. They have also put me back on liquid Soups and Protein drinks only. This is now day 6 of the new meds and everything seems to have settled, surgery was on November 7th, I now have a endoscopy booked for the January 9th.

All this took place due to the support I was given by my GP, who also put pressure on the bariatric team, have spend nearly 3 weeks out if the last 6 all in hospital.

Keep up the pressure on the doctor who did your surgery, in fact if you can go there in person so they have to help you.

I promise you one thing it does get better, its hard very hard the journey but you will get there. God Bless and I pray that things will be get well for you

How are you doing? Any results?

I have a really tight stricture that will need to be dilated which will happen on Thursday. I also start Fluid infusions on Monday. Cat Scan showed everything else is ok no leaks or anything. I'm home now resting. Just really tired.

That's great news at least you know what has gone wrong, mine was caused by dumping which is now controlled by medications. You are now in the right place, praying for a speedy recovery for you.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to give you guys an update. After all that I ended up in the hospital for a week. My blood was pretty much acid and everything was shutting down. Ended up getting round the clock infusions and meds from Saturday morning till yesterday. They did stretch my stricture on Thursday as scheduled and now I'm finally home. I still don't feel at 100% but I'm getting fluids down with no issues and the dr gave me anti nauseous meds. I will probably need a second dilation in a few weeks. Thanks for all the prayers.
