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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
