I’m 6 days out of surgery today and I haven’t been able to keep anything down. Prior to today I’ve had no issues. I was actually getting about 500 calories and 45-50g of protein a day. Today, no go. Every little sip of everything feels like it gets stuck in my chest, I start to slime, and then about 30-45 minutes later, I barf up whatever little sip I had. It’s strange because it’s not that my stomach contracts when I throw up the sip, it’s like I finally burp and it just slides right back up from where it got stuck in my chest.

Should I wait it out a little or should I contact my surgeon?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am no expert but I definitely think you need to go to the emergency room

I wrote my nurse coordinator just now. I don’t feel terrible, just a little fuzzy brained and tired. My surgeons office opens at 7:30. I feel like I can definitely wait until then. I keep trying to sip on water, but it just keeps popping back up. I don’t have nausea, a fever or back or shoulder pain, so I don’t think it’s a leak. I just wonder if one week after surgery is too soon to have a stricture?
