Life STINKS after surgery

[pumpkin07 32]

Everything has already been said. I can especially say I am very sorry for your difficulties and I certainly pray you find the right help to solve your difficulties. If I were you, I would feel exactly the same way right now.

At this point, you need to fight for your life by finding top notch care - not just another doctor to look at you. Try to find the energy to just find out who can best care for you in your area - where do you live - maybe we'd have some suggestions.

There is an answer for you out there. I think some surgeons are over confident and just will not consider the fact that maybe they did something surgically wrong that cannot be solved with time. It may need to be solved with a new set of eyes and hands working on you.

I know you don't want things to get worse from here, so please just make sure you don't go to anyone except a bariatric surgeon that is truly exceptional. Because it could get worse from here if things are not solved in the right manner.

Praying for you...

Very good advice from Pumpkin07. this is serious and needs to be adressed as soon as possible. I don't know how the US system works but in the UK I would ask my GP for a referral to anotehr surgeon. Let us know how you get on please, we are worried for you.

It really sounds like you are dehydrated. There are some people who have had to go back to the hospital and have IV fluids. Being dehydrated definitely causes nausea. Most people go to the emergency room when they feel like you are describing.

Are you on an acid blocker? The bile you are describing sounds like an acid problem.

It also sounds like you're not getting answers from your doctor. If it were me, I would find another doctor.

If you read this board, there a are only a few people who have had problems, and the hundreds of others are very happy with their sleeve surgery. Find out what is wrong because you should not have to live like this.
