Thank You everyone! I was doing good but I woke up this morning had my antacid medication drank some Water and started to vomit again :( I dunno if I should go back or just keep trying to force something down! So frustrating :(

I'm sorry you are not feeling well... Have them do a fluoro x-ray (the one with the nasty drink.) maybe there's a blockage?

I hope this passé soon!!

Thank you. I'm going back to the er. I'm in a lot of lower stomach pain and I threw up and there was a little blood this time. Not what I wanted to see but something's gotta be going on!

I was admitted to the hospital. They said my potassium is low and that's all they can figure out. So im getting 4 bags of that and dilaudid for the pain.

My doc put me on an anacid perscription when I left the hospital. I believe she does that on a regular basis for at least 6 months for patients because they want to make sure an ulcer doesn't start up while healing. I hope you're feeling better and the meds help!

My surgeon did the same thing - Prevacid. Apparently works like a charm because I haven't had any problems! You have to let it dissolve on your tongue and if you can believe it, it even tastes good! LOL

Thanks mami! As an update: I spent a not so restful night here. I have had a thousand blood tests done and one of the girls bruised my left arm so they can't take blood from there, they tried my hand which was horrible because they couldn't get blood out even when they finally found the vain, so I've been getting finger pricks for my blood test. I wish they would just take it from the IV! They said my potassium is back to normal so that's a good start! I'm still really dehydrated so I might not go home today either :/ they also said it doesn't have anything to do with my surgery itself (no blockage or twists or rips) they think i was around someone sick and got a virus and it just took me down fast, or at my work they were waxing the floors and the fumes were horrible. So I could have gotten sick from that. I'm still on my nasuea medication (every 6 hours) and I have been getting pain medication about every 7 hours or so (it's been lasting a long time thank god cuz it hurts) I think my body is just sensitive to everything going on. Thank you all for you well wishes! I appreciate it so much and it really keeps me going.

I got food poisoning (or so they figured) and ended up in the same boat as you. I was super dehydrated after an entire week of diarrhea! I spent the day in the ER but was not admitted. My arms were so bruised up it looked like I was in a car accident! People were shocked when they saw them.

I hope they figure out what's going on and you feel better soon!

Thanks ladies :) yeah I finally am

Starting to feel like myself! Unfortunately not good enough to get out of the hospital but I'm getting closer! When I get out of here I'm going to have Water bottles attached to my ass so I don't get dehydrated ever again!

      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!
