Every time I call the surgeons office they keep telling me I'm fine and I'm eating/drinking wrong. I keep having to spit, swallowing a lot of it is making me gag/dry heave.

Constantly having to gag/heave even when I don't drink or eat anything.

Water upsets me

Mushy food upsets me

EVERYTHING upsets me

And they keep telling me I'm fu***** okay. IM NOT. I FEEL LIKE DEATH.

What the hell is wrong with me ?

I beg for an answer or support. I can't do this alone.

I'm sitting in my car typing this. Nothing in my mouth. I'm gagging.

Two days ago... Kidney stones....

What's next? gallbladder?

Surgery: 12.12.11

Lost: 64lbs

Maybe you're dehydrated from not getting enough fluids and spitting. Do you feel really dry? Dehydration can cause nausea and make you feel really crappy. Go get some fluids in the ER if your insurance will cover it. If not, you must find a way to get some kind of liquid in you. Hot chocolate, milk, lemonade, anything.

Please keep us updated--

If you cant keep anything down then you will needs fluids via IV. You will feel so much better. I would go now. Listen to your body.

I say it's time for a trip to the ER. You sound dehydrated and it doesn't get better by itself. It's a vicious cycle of gagging and spitting until you can't drink anything. Go now, please, and let us know when you're home and fine.

This is what happens when I don't have anything in my stomach: It cramps, I get nausiated and then I produce a lot of saliva that I have to spit out.

You are getting dehydrated. Lissa is right. Get to the ER.

Very concerned for you...if you dont go to the hospital (which is my advice) try to fill a syringe with Vitamin Water or G2 and try to just get one syringe down at a time. Please keep us posted.

Whoa you've lost 64lbs in a month!?! I'm 5 months out and have only lost 62. I think you need to seek the advice of another Dr. Sounds to me like you have a leak....

I've never heard of having to get pre-authorization for an emergeny room visit. Usually you go to a covered hospital and then ask for a co-pay. Whay about your Primary car doctor?

I would first start with caling the on-call surgeon in the practice that did your surgery.

The answering service said wait until morning ...

My stool is extremely light colored now.

My liver is failing isn't it.... Or am I reading too much into WebMD

You have to wait for pre-authorization to go to the ER? Honey, are there any 24 hour urgent care places near you, at a minimum? Please get in and see someone ASAP, we're worried!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
