Help please with constant sickness and diarrhoea
rachel_uk posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Help please My band to bypass was at the end of Nov and I've had constant sickness and diarrhoea since. I'm stuck in bed unable to walk due to exhaustion and feeling completely lost? I feel like I am simply slowly starving. Drs have done tests but the best they could say was I had a bad case of a gastrointestinal infection?? No antibiotics. I'm also unable to take my regular medications. Has this happened to anyone else? What can I do to help myself? Thank you x Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -

Thank you everyone for your kind words and advice. I'm writing this from hospital. My bypass where the pouch joins the intestines was compromised. It was less than 3mm. They stretched the joint with a balloon down my throat to 6mm but it didn't work, or went back, I can now keep fluids down but nothing else, Including vital medications, I've been told I'll need between 3 and 4 more stretches. I'm so angry they left me like this for over 2 months and now it's going to take several more to fix...... Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -

Thank you. The dr called to say they were a test short and yes I have c diff picked up 2 months ago in the hospital where I had my surgery. I'm so angry right now that I picked up an antibiotic resistant superbug and they left me suffering for 2 months. I've got meds to take now but can't keep them down, or the anti sickness meds they gave me to help with the sickness!! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App -
