complications

I was sleeved yesterday around 3:00 pm. I have been in severe pain since. Very time I try to get up, I am nausea as hell, than I start getting gag like symptoms and threw up blood once! So I have not been able to walk, just to bathroom and back. As anyone else had similar problems?

That sounds miserable I hope the docs can give you some proper pain meds and check your sleeve for leaks again etc.

Are you taking anti-nausea medicine? I was getting anti-nausea medicine through my IV right after surgery.

Are you still in the hospital? If so, what did the nurses say? If not, just give your doc a call. It's pretty normal to feel bad when you have 85% of your stomach cut out, especially 12 hours post op. Not sure about vomiting blood, but that's something your surgeon is going to want to know.

I was on anti-nausea meds for at least 24 hours (it may have been longer, I slept most of the first day except when they woke me for vitals) after surgery. It's one of the first things I remember saying coming out of anesthesia: "I feel nauseous"

Definitely let your doc know about vomiting blood.

I was sick to my stomach for the whole 3 days I was in the hospital. didn't have much pain but they tried many different drug to control my nausea. After 3 days it was gone. Never threw up blood though.

I would be talking to the doctor if I were you.

My very first memory when I woke up from surgery was feeling sick, then throwing up a lot of blood. I heard my nephew and friend talking about it and the nurses told them it was natural. Because my stomach was just operated on, there is blood in it. I had issues with the pain meds making me severely nauseous. They quickly learned I had to had a anti nausea chaser immediately after pain meds or I would get sick. My pain wasn't too bad after the first night. I ached, and had the left side pain from the drain. Once the drain came out life got much better much faster! LOL

I was sleeved a week ago today, and the first night I vomited blood 3 times, And at least twice more while I was there. They told me it was not terribly uncommon and they continued to monitor my blood count. It was a little better once I got off of the pain pump. And they also added phenergan in between my zofran. Hope you feel better.

The pain medication made me nauseous so they gavee something else and it made me feel better......good luck

[SingleMom33 25]

They told me the blood was normal it happen after I tried to drink a couple of sips of Water for my regular meds. I took my prilosec this morning and that seems to help a lot. My drain and iv have been removed and moving much better today. Just seem to not tolerate water well yet. I am sucking on ice chips just feeling real bloated!! Hope they goes away soon! Thanks for all your advice

Hi. I am 10 days post op and I went through the same thing. I could barely stand up to go to the bathroom.. Everything was spinning and I felt sooo sick. The nausea lasted 3-4 days and I treated it with zofran. And Water is still the hardest thing for me to drink. I have to put crystal light in it or it makes me gag. Every day gets easier. Hang in there!

[SingleMom33 25]

Same here. I can't drink Water without crystal light. And it doesn't take much and I am full!
