Made it thru, but not doing well...



Recommended Posts

My surgery was delayed 5 hours yesterday. Made thru just fine. Woke up in recovery in so much pain. It's from the gas, but I have not been able to pass any of it. Iv tried walking but I get dizzy and weak very quickly. They are keeping me another night in the hospital because I can not keep anything down. Not even small sips of Water. Within 5-10 mins I'm throwing it up. Mostly dry heaves, but it's painful and it sucks!!! I'm just so ready to go home :(

I was EXACTLY the same way!!!! I was vomiting up everything I ate and dry heaving the whole time I was in the hospital. I was discharged at 3 pm the day after surgery, made it home and vomited/dry heaved that night. Next morning I was fine. They told me my nausea was from the anesthesia and the morphine in my pain pump. I only used my pain pump twice and realized it was contributing to my vomiting.

I didn't have any vomiting.I had gas real bad but I got up like the nurse said and I walked until I couldn't walk any more. I guess I'm blessed so much that I didn't even have a lot of pain. They gave me pain medicine to take when I got home but I have not taken not one drop of it. I guess that was a waste of money to buy it. I walk every day for 30 minutes.

Same thing happened to me, doc said mainly due to anesthesia n trapped gas. Symptoms subsided a few hours later after my nausea was controlled. Had difficulty sipping liquids when I got home but things got better by post OP day 3. Hope you feel better soon.

Y'all are so amazingly smart!!! Today is "day 3" and I feel sooooo much better. Gas has finally started to pass. I made them stop all pain meds to see if that was attributing to my nausea and sure thing, I have not been nauseous in about 5 hours. And I'm not in pain, so the meds are not necessary. Woo hoo. Gotta do my upper GI again this morning and I plan on going home. Ready does not even begin to describe it.

I had my surgery on the 28th woke up fine today a lot of gas. But you have to move a fight threw it. It hurts like hell but.. I have no choice. I am able eat Jello 3 ounces. Very slowly. Key thing is slow. And move. The gas pain will go away.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
