Help! I think I'm dying



Recommended Posts

Whoever can help me please!! I am so worried I think I'm going to be seriously ill. I had my sleeve on 9/22 i haven't been able to eat or keep anything down.... i vomit everything. I'm afraid I'm dehydrated. I called my doctor he told me that eventually it will get better and to try to get some Water in. But I'm seeing everyone here eating and being ok is this normal?

Unfortunately everyone is different. Do you still have nausea meds? Try taking those before you try and drink or eat

I have days I'm good and others that I am struggling like you. I was sleeved 19th of September. If you feel that you are in serious trouble go to the ER, get pumped with fluids. Look for unstable gait, blurred vision, hallucinations, chills, sweats joint pains big muscle aches confusion those could mean bad dehydration or possible infection. I'm not a doctor but this is what I was told. It will get better but don't try to carry on if it is bad.

If you think your dying go to the hospital. Being dehydrated is really bad, they could at least give you fluids to help.

Hope it gets better soon xx

When something is really wrong, it is normal to get a feeling of impending doom. It's your body telling you to seek help. So I suggest you go to urgent care. If your doc is just saying it will get better and not telling you to come in, id question him as a doc for sure! Are you urinating regularly? If not, that is the first sign of dehydration and that can result in danger if not addressed.

Poor nutrition, in extreme cases can result in potassium deficiency which makes you at high risk for cardiac arrest. Also, there are many Vitamins that your body needs to function and if you aren't getting them, it needs to be addressed immediately.

I am no doctor but I am a nurse and have been for years. So please take this advise and get checked out. Best wishes.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
