SoGastric 0 Posted January 22, 2012 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?

Foxbins 625 Posted January 22, 2012 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.

Punkypoo 9 Posted January 22, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted January 22, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catracks 865 Posted January 22, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twoboysandagirl 109 Posted January 22, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Catracks 865 Posted January 23, 2012 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. 1 SoGastric reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LoserMama 37 Posted January 23, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
