4 Wks Post Op Miserable

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

I hope they get this figured out soon Lux. It's definitely not normal to have vomiting go on this many weeks post op. I hope your dr. is running every test under the sun to find out what is causing all your nausea, while even on nausea medication.

Lux I had the tube. It's miserable I'd agree. I actually "rejected it" (vomited bile for 48 hours) and they had to go to IV feeding (TPN) instead. You will stay healthier on the tube than TPN though so try to get used to it!

Gad I hate to read every time I see a complication, but I'm glad you have at least somewhat of an idea what is wrong. What are they going to do about it though???

Hi iggy. First tube i vomited out so they placed second larger one farther down into the gut. The hope is the pouch in the stomach will close up on its own or may have to go back in and remove it

Hello all. Just returned from dr again 10 days since tube placement no vomiting since i was looking for good news but no such luck. Still have pouch on side of stomach & tube has slid out of juijenum & not sits just below pouch. So now dr wants me to lay off Protein down to 50gr a day & start getting 800 cal a day & keep tube in 2 more weeks. Im so confused as well as pissed off i just feel like im getting a run around. I would bet in 2 wks he recommends surgery lets watch and see

Oh Lux, so sorry you are going through this. No vomiting is a good thing though. What do they think caused the pouch?

Hope they figure it all out soon. I guess being conservative to them is a good thing. To you, it's just frustrating! Hang in there.

[Lux531 25]

They believe the pouch was caused by continuous vomiting

[suzthebrit 146]

Ugh. So sorry!
