Can you HELP me!

Monday April 4th was my big day. I have had nothing but issues ever since. I was in the hospital from the 4th to the 9th total of 6 days thought I'd be in there for two nights not so much...the hardest part was watching all the other sleeve-rs that came in and left while I sat there wondering what was wrong with me. They tried to take out my IV on Tuesday afternoon or evening and had to put it back in a couple days later because I was dehydrated. Between the gas, nausea and horrible heartburn/acid reflux I could not get anything down and if I did I got nauseated instantly sometimes vomiting which is no fun. Oh how I feel like I've been thru the ringer and back a few times. I was really hoping this would have went differently ~ but what's done is done and I have to try to figure out how to move on and get better. I am still dealing with the heartburn/acid reflux the gas has quit for the most part I do still get some nausea every-once in awhile mostly when I try to take any of the meds they sent me home with. Today I had to go to an Infusion Center and be hooked back up to an IV because I was once again dehydrated spent about 5 hours there. I find it very difficult to drink/sip 64oz of liquids a day when I have such bad heartburn. I really could use some input from anyone that's dealt with this.

My main issues right now are:

1. Getting in 64 oz of liquids to stay hydrated

2. Haven't had hardly anything to eat in the last 9 days due to all of the above drama

Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated as to how I can possibly turn this around.

Side Note: I am going in tomorrow for another upper GI and then to see my surgeon.

Oh, you poor thing! I am sorry you are having such a hard time. I can empathize with the Fluid problem--it was a couple weeks until I could even get in 40 oz of fluids each day. All I can tell you is to take tiny sips constantly and they will amount to enough to keep you from needing an IV. As far as acid, I came home on a PPI to control stomach acid. What are you taking for your acid? If it is not working, ask your doctor to change it. I hope you feel better soon.
