Plication complications

Recommended Posts

I had the plication march 2012 and I'm in hospital now because of nausea, vomiting blood and abdominal pain. Had a few test done and come to find out my stomach has twisted and there's an obstruction. Not sure why or where we are going from here. They are draining my stomach with a nose drain right now. Since Monday they have drained 1700ml so far. Just took an X-ray waiting to hear back from doctor. Been in hospital sine mon 8:30am about 48 hours. Might have to have surgery.

Going into surgery within hour to see why I'm blocked. Possibly remove the plication, or remove dead stomach if needed.

Basically I popped a top stitch and my stomach kinda of folded over itself making an obstruction. Had surgery Wednesday and they took all the stitches out. I'm getting discharged now came in Monday leaving Friday.

My surgeon was Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. My surgeon here called him and he said take the stitches out.

Warning: try not to throw up. Be careful. If that means taking an hour to eat slowly do it. Don't get too full. Chew chew chew. When your not eating drink liquids.

I'm down 51#s probably more now since I haven't eating since Sunday. Ha.

No they didn't remove any of the stomach. It wasn't dead. I now have a "normal" stomach that needs to heal now.

I'm home now. :)

Dr Ariel Ortiz? Why I'd the stitch pop?

Yes Dr. Ariel Ortiz @ OCC.

I had nausea and vomited thats why the stitch popped out.

Be very very very careful not to throw up. Do everything you can not to.

Chew chew chew, eat slow, stay hydrated and obviously don't over eat. My problem is certain smells make me gag sometimes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
