I had surgery 4/9/24. Been sick ever since the second week, I can barely keep water down. Everyone keeps saying it’ll get better but this is by far my biggest regret!! I feel like I’m dying!! Anyone else experience this? I don’t know if I’m losing too fast or what but I can’t live like this!

Have you reached out to your team? That doesn’t sound normal. If you are dehydrated they need to arrange fluids. Dehydration can cause nausea and it sounds like maybe you are not getting enough. Hopefully that’s all it is but it could also be a complication. Call your surgeon ASAP.

Yes I’ve spoken with them. Was in the hospital for two weeks getting fluids. All the scans came back normal. They said pancreatitis now gastritis I just feel like they’re missing something. Idk I’m tired

Sounds frustrating. Sometimes you have to be the squeaky wheel. If you don’t feel better and they say you should by now I would call again and again until they get to the bottom of it.

It is very frustrating! Thank you

Yes, and it was pancreatitis, diagnosed the day after the op (as it was due to surgical error I believe) before I even knew there was a problem. I had to stay in hospital after my op and ended up having to get my nutrients via IV (and then eventually a feeding tube but that was for a different reason).

I also know of someone else who suffered pancreatitis following surgery recently, medical team are blaming her prior use of weight loss injection in the run up to the surgery but who knows!

If your symptoms continue would you consider going to the ER to get readmitted and ask for tests again like contrast (liquid) CT to check for leak etc.?
