nausea still 6 days post op

Yes, that is good news that they are keeping him! Thanks for coming back with an update on how he is doing. I hope he feels better soon. I am currently anemic myself, and am working hard to raise my levels before I have surgery in two weeks. They said I will need to continue supplementation after surgery because there will be blood loss from it.

Thank goodness he's a man and doesn't have to deal with a period, which would drain him even more.

Oh, I almost forgot - how are YOU doing?

Update again, he's got pancreatis and a clot in his intestines to liver. Well be in Coumadin fir 3 months. He still has some pain and on morphine but is walking better today. Nausea is better too, except after drinking the contrast and barium. And diarrhea from the iv antibiotics. Dr is looking at Sunday fir discharge but we don't want him to leave until he does another ct scan to check the clot and until he has no pain, but not really sure how long this pain well last so........

As for me, I'm fine. Moved on to mushy foods yesterday. I don't know how I'm going to get in 4-5 "meals" in though. Plus I've stalled on the weight loss and I don't like it and blaming the food. I do need to start walking regularly, I just forget. I have been pretty busy going here and there though.

I'm pretty ticked at our surgeon fir how he treats me. He has not one examined me, not before surgery, right after our even at post op yesterday. I went back today to get Vitamins and asked if the nurse if she could check the bulge on my belly too see if that's normal or not, would only take a second. They put me in a room and Dr cane in. I asked him and he "reminded" (saying sarcastically) me that he told me it would go down once the stitch dissolves and it would all be even again. Well that's not what I was asking, I wanted him to feel the harder bulge above the stitch and he argued with me that there's nothing they yet he never touched it. He always talks to me like I'm annoying him. I'm done. I deserve better. So I will be finding a different bariatric dr. this whole experience hasn't been good for me with this Dr. He refused to give me the one pain med that works on me when all others don't after surgery and making me suffer and then making me feel like an annoyance to him all the rest of the time. I don't want to see him anymore.

Otherwise, my incisions are fine but itchy, my belly too. Lol

Thanks for asking <3

Oh, and he's a stupid jerk who doesn't listen to me too. I almost brought my husband to the ER lay Saturday night but called our dr instead. I told him he was nauseas, had very dark urine, couldn't drink much or get up and in pain and not doing well at all. He just told him to drink more and scripted smooth antinausea med. We went to our post op visit yesterday where he had me drive him to the er and now ask this.

The stupid moron Dr should have listened to me and told me to bring him to the ER on Saturday and I should have trusted my gut and ignored the Dr and brought him there anyway. He could have been.better by now and not suffered 4 more days.

Set up appts with a PCP who so familiar with patients who have had bariatric surgery. I am sure there are good surgeons out there who do quality follow up, as many here on this site will attest too, but honestly, there are many surgeons who simply don't give a crap about you once the surgery is done. I saw my surgeon for about 5 minutes before my surgery. He stopped in my hospital room for about 5 minutes after surgery, and I have not seen or heard from him since! He did schedule a followup appt, but when I went it was a Nurse Practitioner who saw me. I guess that was ok, but I was very weak and struggling. She did blood work, but never followed up with me with the results. In two days after that visit I was in ER due to severe dehydration. She has never once followed up since. I basically have written off the surgeon and work with my PCP. If you have a PCP start going to him and forget the surgeon!
