Argh! ER again!



Recommended Posts

Another trip to the ER with extreme stomach pain... No slip no erosion per CT (and EGD a month ago) WBC and LFT slightly elevated but not worrisome. I am so sick of this happening and no one can tell me why!! Ready to get the band out!

When does the pain happen? Right after you eat or is it random? Do you keep a food diary? I read somewhere else on here about becoming very sensitive to gluten products after eating so low carb for a long time. Also, I've been getting some bad stomach aches in the morning. I'm going to explore if maybe this is caused by drinking cold Water on my tight morning band or if it's one of the recent supplements I've added.

I hope you can find your answers. Best wishes.

Usually it's at night. I go to bed. Can't get comfortable (not cause anything hurts... Just toss n turn) then bam... Nausea and intense pain

I have wracked my brain all day. The only thing I have noticed 2x now it's happened after taking cough med with codiene in it. They also shot me full of hydromorphine at the ER and I got really sick First time I have actually "thrown up" since being banded. (9/3/13)

I list Demerol as a drug I am allergic to just because it makes me get so sick from nausea and vomiting and stomach pain. you maybe allergic to codeine. or are having severe reactions to it.

Are you eating to late, or right before bedtime? You sound like, maybe, you are getting an acid reflux. Best wishes to you. Are you in contact with your bariatric surgeon's office? Karen

That's on my list of possibilities. I hope it's something that simple.

No I don't eat before bed... At least an hour. And this is WAY worse than acid reflux. I have a high pain tolerance and it's enough to bring me to my knees crying.

      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.
