Anjela424 23 Posted May 5, 2012 Hey guys and gals. So I'm back in the hospital. I hadn't eaten anything for aout 9 days bc I always feel so nauseated. I was really feeling downright terrible so I went to the emergency room on Thursday Morning. I've been here since. My arms are all swollen and bruised bc they had to poke me 7 times before they could get the iv started. They said my veins were deflated due to dehydration. I still feel very nauseated. They did a really aggressive endoscopy yesterday. I hope the stricture heals and my stomach remains open. There's a lot of scar tissue. This really isn't what I signed up for and yea they do mention the risks before hand but no one told me it would be this bad. I really wish I never had this surgery. So in the meantime I'm just laying here miserable....trying to get better. I'm including a pic of my arm so you can see how its all bruised from the numerous iv pokees [ATTACH]48[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]49[/ATTACH] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anjela424 23 Posted May 9, 2012 I don't feel better at all. I haven't eaten in 2 weeks and even then it was just 2 spoons of yogurt. I never feel good or normal. Its hurting my family bc they feel bad that they can't do anything to help me..EXTREME BUYERS REMORSE! If one more person says hang in there I'm gonna scream. Unless they're the ones going through it they have no idea how truly horrible this is. I'm an incest survivor as well as a domestic abuse survivor and this by far is the worse I've ever felt in my life. Id give anything for a "do-over" 1 holly m1234 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anjela424 23 Posted May 27, 2012 I'm sorry I'm just seeing your message. I was in the hospital from the 10th-18th.....they said the stricture was cleared but the ulcer wasn't. I think I need to be dialated again bc I'm vomiting again. I couldn't eat/drink anything in the hospital. My veins were too deflated for IV's so I had a triple picc line put directly in my chest. I was fed TPN through a nutrition bag like they give people that are in comas and can't feed themselves. It was pretty bad. I am once again not eat but still trying to drink enough to stay hydrated. Its a holiday weekend so I will call the surgery team on Tuesday to see if they want me to re-admit myself into the hospital........again :'( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
