How far out are you?

I'd say take any zofran/phenergen you have left over and contact your dr. That early on you could still damage your suture line. (Early retching partially caused my leak) if you don't have an antiemetic get into see a dr ASAP, maybe even the ER. Better safe than sorry.

Good luck and keep us posted!

I am 2 weeks out. I cannot take my zofran because I am on ciprofloxacin for my kidney infection. And gravol gets vomited up.

Any peppermints or ginger around? You need an antiemetic and try to keep up the fluids. I know at this point you're probably just dry heaving which is dangerous for the new stomach. Any other symptoms?

So it turned out that the food I ate was causing the vomiting. The doctor Gave me some iv antiemetics in the ER. ONCE I purged my stomach completely, I was instantly fine. The doctors concern is that my stoma was blocked, but he assured me that if in a few more hours if it had not gotten better, he would get an endoscopy. He says he sees this all the time. After 7 hours, I was finally relieved. My endoscopy in the end showed nothing but a stomach lining irritation. So I was told.

What do people who had the surgery in Mexico do when events like this happen?

Are they just on their own? Do they make contact with bariatric surgeons in the US? Rely on a primary care physician? Ask people on a message board what they should do?

I had my surgery in Mexico. I made sure to have a primary care doctor who would be willing to follow me whenever I got back. She has dobr wonderfully. She follows my blood work and my Surgeon gave me all his contact info before I left so I can call him and she can call him for consults.

      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.
