what did I get myself into



Recommended Posts

My surgery was on 9/19. For the last 3 days I haven't been able to keep a thing down. I am literally throwing everything up, including Water. Any advice would be appreciated.

Call your doc immediately. There is something he can give you for that. Be sure to take tiny little sips of Water every 5 minutes...it's very important to get fluids in. Just make the sips tiny. Good luck..

That does not sound normal to me. I think you should call your doctor immediately.. Please don't wait. Make the call right now. Then, let us know your outcome.

yes I agree with the others, you may get dehydrated if you're not keeping Water down. They will be able to give you meds for the nausea, and see if they need to do anything else. Feel better!

well....after discussion with the Dr, he put me on Promethazine and Zegerid to help with all of the nausea and vomiting. Today has been a very quiet peaceful day, knock on wood. I have kept down about 50 oz of Fluid and the dehydration symptoms are working themselves out just fine. Thank you all for the suggestions. I'm really struggling with the nausea I guess.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
