6 Weeks Post Op, Come on Doc!



Recommended Posts

So I am 6 weeks post op today and started having serious abdominal pain that was radiating pain to my chest and back. I am

Very nauseous and started vomiting yellow bile because I can't eat anything. I went to the ER last night and everything checked out fine. They gave me a shot of Levsin to reduce the spasms in my stomach. I was fine when I went home but I guess being doped up with Dilaudid helps with that. They sent me home and diagnosed me with "unknown abdominal pain". I woke up at 6am and it was all back! Yay, but lets add yellow diarrhea to the description. I called my sleeve doctor and he made me drive an 1hr 1/2 to see him at there Emergency room. So I get to start this all over once again. I just wanted to vent..Ugh.

Well things are getting worse. I am now NPO since Last night. I can't eat or drink.. They are confused at this point. They thought it was one thing but it seems to be 10 others. I can't stop

Vomiting or having diarrhea which is crazy since I haven't eaten since Sunday. They have to keep me doped up.. Ugh, I just want them to fix this. Fingers crossed that they find what else is wrong.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
