Inability to get anything down and vision problems

[NORCALRN 60]

i have had the same issues for 8 months. i thought my vision was changing due to age and the fact that i spent 5 weeks in the hospital. NOPE..it was the scopalomine patch for nausea~other meds can do that, too. IE zofran. i am silent barfer..fluids just came right up. double what i took in. please be pushy with his doctor if fluids are not staying down. maybe an upper GI study or endoscopy? if he i following post op then either this is how his body is reacting to surgery.....hopefully he is just that. but follow instinct. some people just have that regurgitation thing - nothing wrong, but monitor. my situation is very different. i won't get into it - i just want you both to know everyone reacts differently.............keep us posted please......

UPDATE: Finally convinced him to go to ER and they have admitted him, thankfully. Basically, it's a wait and see game and he will likely be there for several days, but they think the problem is that his stomach is so swollen, it's not letting anything in. Because of that, all fluids are backing up into his esophagus and throat. They naturally got him on IV fluids immediately. They believe that the swelling is just going to have to go down from the surgery to allow it to open up and accept fluids. After another swallow test and a CT scan they see no obstructions or areas of concern and see no leakage, so that's good. While he isn't happy about a lengthy hospital stay, they have told us that it is "fixable" with time and not anything "life threatening" (though it would be if he wasn't there getting fluids). Nothing yet on the eye situation and they are puzzled, but we need to deal with one thing at a time.

Thanks everyone for your concerns. We are plugging through. They keep calling me a "superstar" because I've done so well and I thank God for that because I need to be there to help with him. But, I know that I just had major surgery too and I need to be mindful of resting and getting in my liquids and Proteins. Oh boy, what a journey....

So sorry to hear of your husband's trouble. I am in a similar situation. Surgery on 4/10 and then re-admitted on Sunday. Had iv and tests. All ok. Discharged yesterday. Still attempting to get liquids in but I am still having problems. Lots still coming back up. Hopefully, our stomach swelling will go down soon and we can get past this.

I am so happy that you got him to go to the ER...He could have suffered major complications if he hadn't gone.....Good job to both of you....he will be fine once the stomach isn't swollen any more......This is a total relief... Hugs to both of you.......Oh and do take good care of yourself right now.......you do need it.....
