needachange 15 Posted February 25, 2012 K I'm at a loss. Getting very frustrated. For the last three weeks every time I eat anything I vomit. It can be just two bites and I'm vomiting. It has hone from hard core vomit to the foam and slimed then throw up. I had finally had all I could take and went to my surgeons office on valentines day. Told them how nauseated I was and how I vomited an had horrible pain in my breastplate and back. They gave me something for nausea and sent me for an endoscope. The endoscope showed a slightly tilted esophagus and a need for a little dilation. Nothing major. Weekend ok not vomiting as much. Tuesday afternoon (when I had my 3 small kids with me) I thought I was having a freaking heart attack. Went to the ER everything ok but X-rays showed a huge air pocket in my stomach or intestines. Said I needed to go to the bathroom more. I haven't been since Monday the 20th and have been taking Fiber and stool softeners and still nothing. Go back to surgeon on Wednesday and he wants a barium swallow now. I am still not able to eat without getting slimes or vomit. Not as nauseated as before. I go this next Thursday for the swallow. Was told to just keep Fluid down if u could until we see what's wrong if anything. Really? Obviously something is not right or I could eat Help!! Suggestions???

MegInNOLA 531 Posted February 25, 2012 Bless your heart--I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this!! I know it feels horrid. I threw up regularly for the first two months after surgery. You don't mention if you're on a PPI (acid inhibitor). If not, please try some Prilosec ASAP. You will know well before next week if the Prilosec is helping. Fluids, especially Gatorade or something similar, sound like the plan until you can get in for that barium swallow. Hugs to you--hang in there! I'm sure they'll figure out the problem.
