_{Thanks everyone for your support. Scheduled for an endoscopy Monday morning. I hope they find something that would explain the difficulties! I've been on TPN for a month now and I'm getting scared...the nausea isn't getting better.}

Thanks! No antibiotics, just nutrition.

• TPN = Trans Parenteral Nutrition, in other words intravenous feeding.
  

Hello,

I am 11 weeks Post-Op Gastric Sleeve. Over the course of the first month I suffered heart burn and nausea to the point where I didn't want to eat or even drink Water. I became dehydrated was hospitalized and had a PICC line inserted for TPN. I just started my 4th week on TPN and have seen no improvement. I am not vomiting but even thinking about food or water makes me nauseous to the point I won't eat or drink anything. I'm scared I will never be able to eat again and have to stay on TPN forever. Has anyone heard of this? Will it get better? How Long?

Thanks for listening!

I have BCBS of RI and they covered my Gastric Sleeve procedure in November 2012.
