4 Days Post Op Problem



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I had gastric bypass on March 8. I did great inthe hospital no nausea or vomiting. I had broth, jelloIsopure and ice chips. The doc said to add Protein Shakes when I got home. I came home Thursday, that evening I had one Premier Protein shake and later 1 oz Jello. I was fine able to take all meds. Yesterday I got up drank a shake too some meds a few hours later had jello and took pain pill with jello. I then got the worst pain under my breast bone and down front left side and was nauseated. It took about 45 till I vomited all the jello and pain pill. I felt somewhat better but not much. Four hours later I tried more jello and pain pill I vomited all up. I was and have been in so much pain since yesterday and my stomach is making all sorts of noises. I feel nauseated and full up to the back of my throat. I'v only had sips of Water today and they make it worse. I called the dietician, she said to go back to ice chips and I have since yesterday..not helping And no pain med since yesterday morn. Can you advise?

You should call your doctor. Maybe you can't handle the pill form yet. When I was discharged I got liquid pain meds.

yeah, call your doctor's office. I had to crush all my meds and could only drink sips of stuff at a time - but you can't be throwing up all the time - you will get dehydrated. Your doctor's office should have someone to call even after hours.

      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?
