I'm still in the hospital. And I'm misarable

[miangr 11]

So today is my 3 day post op. My surgeon said he would be keeping an extra day because I can't keep anything down. And he doesn't want to send me home only to return to the ER due to dehydration. After the surgery it was non stop vomiting. Especially with the pain meds they were giving me. I have been walking around a lot since day one. But man was I feeling so sick and full of regret. I thought this was going to be easier. I can't even have Water without getting sick. This blows, so I have been on steroids to reduce the swelling inside my abdomen. I know this will get better. But I hate feeling this sick. Has anyone been through the same thing as me ?

are you feeling better? I was just sent home today from the hospital, I had the same problem i kept trying to puke up everything i swallowed and the medication made it ten times worse. Considering your surgery was a few days before mine, when did you start feeling better?

Oh I'm soooo sorry to hear this! If you can't keep anything down you need to be in the hospital or get a pic line at home for nutrients and Fluid. Your not just dehydrated your also lacking Protein and nutrients which is not good for each day that goes by. Ask your Dr about your options you should not have to go through this misery so long. What did they think was going to happen after they hydrated you, sent you home when you cant keep much down. They are treating the after affects not the cause. Sorry if this is too preachy i just have been there and want the best for you. Send good thoughts. Hang in there I'm hitting the fast forward button.
