My surgery was December 9, 2013. My surgeon was Dr. Shinn in Charleston, WV. Things during surgery and immediately after went as expected. After about 4 weeks I started feeling constantly nauseous and had excessive salivation. My per existing hiatal hernia flared up and my surgeon did a repair. I have not been able to overcome this problem and consequently I gave been hospitalized three times for dehydration and low potassium. I honestly try and drink and get my protein but I throw up immediately practically everything I swallow. Even water makes me nauseous sometimes. I try to sip something every few minutes. I have tried smoothies, packaged protein drinks. I have list 86 pounds, but I feel so unwell that I almost regret my surgery.
