1 Day Post Op -- Hard Time



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I just had my surgery yesterday and was sent home this afternoon. I had neaseau in the hospital but they controlled it with IV zophran and fenergan (spelling). Ever since the car ride home I can't keep anything down. If I move the slightest I start dry heaving. I haven't been able to drink so all that's coming up is foamy. I called the on call doctor and they told me to take 2 zophran at once instead of one...and I am still vomiting every couple of minutes. MY stomach hurts so bad from heaving and I would like any advice!!!

Is it a dissolving under the tongue pill or the kind you have to swallow?

Also, that kind of vomiting is not good. You might have to go back to the hospital. are you on the West Coast? Can you call your surgeons office again? Don't worry about being a nuisance, just call. Does the hospital you had your surgery in have a bariatric unit you were on? You can call them. Or just go.

Sorry you are feeling so bad. My rny bypass was the tenth. What did you have? I would go to ER if it continues. You do not want to make things worse by dehydration. I had my surgery early in the morning of the tenth and went home late afternoon on the thirteenth. Prayers your way. Paula

Go straight to your bariatric team or if you cant then go to the ER, where I hope they will be able to help you. I really hope you feel better soon.

*hugs*

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
