I can’t keep anything down [emoji33][emoji32]



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved this year on October 24th. The week after surgery I developed a UTI that turned into a kidney infection. After that, everything was fine up until recently (November 25). Since then I haven’t been able to keep any liquids down, I am very weak and fatigued all the time and I throw up Water like it’s nothing. I haven’t had any luck getting in touch with my surgeon and my primary doctor is no help whatsoever. I went to the emergency room twice only for them to say they found nothing wrong the first time and they didn’t even check to see what was wrong a second time (They didn’t even put me on a bag of fluids for the dehydration the second time around). Has anyone experienced this? I’m taking the medication they’re telling me to take but nothing is working at this point! Can someone help me?!?!

Does your surgeon have an emergency #?

He does but I am only able to get in contact with his Aides and never him. It got so bad that I went to the ER again and they were finally able to give me an answer as to what was wrong with me. I still haven’t heard from my surgeon or seen my surgeon since all of this started to happen.

It sounds like a stricture. Time to find a new surgeon. Hope you are doing better.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
