My horrific JorneyI

[KBNB 0]

I was sleeved on Dec 27, 2012. I stayed 3 nights with no tv in a recovery room and basically no nurse, but on Dilaudid. They released me from the hospital not being able to keep anything down. When threw 3 weeks of withdrawals from the Dilaudid still not being able to keep anything down. They told me it was normal to have headaches like so bad I wanted to blow my brains out! Them finally they put me on IV fluids. Then scheduled a endoscopy to see what was wrong. It's now the end of January still can't keep anything down. The get in my stomach and tell me I have a stricture. Good for 3 days then starts again. Did this a total of 3 times threw February and March. The Doc tells me no more fluids just keep pushing it with the eating and drinking! It's closing up because I'm not eating and drinking enough. So I do! Now it's October

and I go see a new Doctor because I can eat a lot and I'm still throwing up! We do an upper GI in the office and I watch the barium fill up a pouch in my stomach and only when I lean does any of the Fluid go down the tube that is across at the top from my esophagus. So not that my stomach is stretched because of what the stupid Doctor said to do the new Dr wants to basically do exploratory surgery because A my stomach is twisted or B the most likely is they will have to do the surgery again! While during one of the endoscopys my mom overheard the nurses saying that complications happen all the time with his patents and then the new Dr says that he get patents from him all the time!

Why in the world would they put you on Dilaudid for 3 days? I had a morphine pump for one day and then the sent me home with loretab. I had my gallbladder out and they gave me dilaudid once and I said NEVER give that to me again. My head was spinning all day - it's so strong! I hope you feel better soon. I agree that he should be reported.

Oh and yeah they said the withdrawals were normal but it wasn't the meds it was with drawls from sugar and Carbs and dehydration. Yea NO. I've had with drawls from Zoloft and symbalta before. It felt like that times a million!

I'm sorry but that is BS! yes you can have withdrawals from sugar and carbs but not such a severe headache. Dilaudid is nothing to mess with. When the nurse gave it to me for pain, it was at night and I was pressing the call button before the door closed all the way from her leaving the room. I thought I was having an alergic reaction because it immediately whooshed through my body, tingled up my neck and made my head feel so strange. It was aweful. She said it was normal to feel that. I guess I could never be a druggy - do not like that feeling! lol:)

But everyone is different. I had my gallbladder removed and couldn't stand up straight for 2 weeks. Lortab is like an M&M to me. Dilaudid helped me a little in the hospital WITH Toradol but did not make me loopy, fuzzy or take away my pain.
