Unfortunately..Eventually.. I have to take my self in to the hospital to check everythings okay as I know I would advice the same if it were me , but I hate hospitals, but will go on Monday.

I am not feeling so good.. I through up quite aggressively yesterday evening .. Thought everything was fine, today I had a bite of food hurt my tummy made me feel sick, smelled my coffee i was about to be sick of the smell. last night i thought i tasted blood in my throat then I forgot about it , today its hard to explain my mouth is not bleeding but there is a weird blood wiff inside of my mouth that feels like its coming from not in my mouth. It is like my chest hurts but it doesnt its inside. like my throat and further down.. on the left but it is for sure inside, not a heartattack or anything. I woke up feeling so rotten and still feel rotten.

I am abit sad and scared somethings wrong , and think maybe i should wait to see if its okay, no problems swollowing. i did my googling and nothing came up.

I am scared.

How come you're waiting until Monday? I wonder if when they intubated you if they scratched your throat, but that wouldn't explain the nausea I don't think. Ugh I'd go and get it looked at. Feel better.

Everything started after my....puke situation. It is a hard situation.. Knowing your health is at risk if you do not do the surgery due to already having issues, and your mind that is not quite were it needs to be, but it might have never been anyway.

It sounds like an ulcer or acid reflux. What about going to a walk in clinic?

I am not able to till Monday, I was thinking about a walk in but they wont be able to do any tests etc, so I might present to the 'emergency room' we call a and e, its not acid reflux I can be sure of that. I do think I damaged something maybe the acid coming up from puking? but i literaly feel the liquid burning going down then reaching my stomach, that is not possible? i did not think i have no idea but i feel worse, but I will be honest and explain how i am feeling when i see them whenever that will be if i get the courage to go lol . I honestly have to be on my death bed usually to bother the emergency room , I have attended my doctors office once about something ele t that i waited and waited for and they ended up them calling an ambulance , as obviously i was needing to be in hosp, but i hate the thought of wasting peoples time thats my problem

Look, I am a hospital nurse....you are NOT wasting anyone's time. That is why we are there, to help people. You really need to be evaluated.

Thank you - *Trying for me* I am having a little conflict here. But I do hope I do go on Monday. The feelings I am feeling are really not nice. The chest in combination with the left side of my LOWER LOWER throat, ( do I even have a lower throat?) Is so strange.

I am abit scared as the vomit I did/had was so violent and forcefull that if i had staples to pop it would have done so .

Its so easy to think " your fine , but i realise i am not super human.. :(

Thank you for responding!

You should go right away. Your pouch could be bleeding. Not trying to scare you but someone else posted about bleeding and not being able to eat and that's what she found out at the hospital.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
