smorvant22 29 Posted October 31, 2013 Hey ya'll. Just to give ya'll a lil bit of background. i was sleeved on 9/25/13. I had the sleeve done and also a hiatal hernia fixed. I have been fine up untill 2 days ago. i have currently been getting short deep chest pains. I have not been able to consume ANYTHING for 2 days now. today is day 3. As soon as i consume even a sip of Water i get a chest pain and couple mins later i'm runnign to the restroom cause i feel like im going to poo on myself (tmi i know lol). But all i do is strain and hurt. I seen my surgeon yesterday and he says he has no idea what is wrong that if it keeps up just to let him know. Does ANYONE have any idea or suggestions?? i feel like a walking zombie with no energy at all. OH and to add to all of this today i have thrown up twice just stomach acid. ITs horrible somone help..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woo woo 872 Posted October 31, 2013 I would think at the very least you are dehydrated if you haven't consumed anything at all for 2 days. Not sure about the chest pains but my suggestion is to visit the ER. I think it's better safe than sorry and they can give you IV fluids while you are there.

No game 14,437 Posted October 31, 2013 Ummm. Ok probably not a blockage... I really think you just need to get back in or go to the urgent care... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christieouchley 55 Posted October 31, 2013 Im an endoscopy nurse and I do think it could be a fecal compaction. Sometimes when we have a fixed compaction you actually have runny diarrhea around the impaction. My guess is that you have been on some pain meds post surgery, which led to the impaction. Because you have a fainting reflex followed by the urge defecate sounds like a vagal reaction, also caused by impaction. You need IV fluids simply because its been more than 24 hours since any significant Fluid intake. Your insurance should cover the charges simply due to dehyration, even if its not impaction causing the problem, my guess they will scope you while your their anyway. 1 kltklass reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
