Could use some help for my Fiance...She had her surgery last night.



Recommended Posts

Guess she didn't rest well and is still vomiting/cant keep stuff down. She goes in to see the doctor at 11, so hopefully that goes well and maybe she'll have some nausea medicine or something.

I hope they gave her some anti-nausea meds. My first night in the hospital the pain meds were making me very nauseated and they were able to give me anti-nauseas to keep from throwing up. If they haven't offered, maybe ask for some? I hope she turns the corner soon!

I know its been a few days, but I have been busy with work and trying to take care of her. I am ecstatic because this morning she woke up and everything seemed to be a complete 180. She actually smiled today, and I hadn't seen a real one of those since her surgery. She hasn't thrown up in 2 days and she's been sipping on water/broth/sugar-free juice all day to stay hydrated. I think we're on the home stretch, just wanted to update everyone and thank you all for your help and support. Definitely not my last post here. Also, I have her taking a prevacid daily, that's okay, right? She's craving solid foods already.l, which I think is the only hard part now.

Robster, this sounds great. Any surgery is scary. It is downhill now. Smile! I am on Prilosec for the rest of my life. Give her broth and popsicles and according to her doctor's plan. Tell her I said hugs, and get moving, walk as much as possible. I drove in 2 days and shopped 5 days later at the mall. I am loving my life at 68! God Bless you both on this journey. Linda

The Prevacid is fine. My surgeon prescribed me Prevacid for 3 months after surgery. If over the counter doesn't seem to work, have her ask her PCP for the prescription strength. Glad she's doing better!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
