Vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain! What do I do?



Recommended Posts

Help! I've had bad diarrhea and vomiting for about 24 hours now. It's to the point where I can't drink anything without it coming back up moments later. Im also having pain in my gut and legs. It's too early to call my surgeon and I know he won't be able to see me today. What should I do? Should I just go to the er? I'm one month post op by the way. Thanks in advance!

when does the doctor get in? are you there alone? If you are alone I would go to the ER now before you get to where you cant get yourself there safely...hospital will contact WLS doctor.

The last time I had bad diarrhea and vomiting, I passed out twice, hitting my head on the tub twice. I ended up in the ER for a CT scan and fluids. You are not that far out from surgery to be brave and stoic about this. If you are alone, I would get to the ER now if you are not dizzy. If you are dizzy and alone, call 911 for an ambulance to get you there. If a driver is in the house, have them get you there now. Being tough is not worth double concussion.

Thanks. I not alone and have a call into my surgeon. He should be calling within about an hour. I'm going to get ready to go to the er as I think that's what he will direct me to do.

      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?

      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.
