3 days post-op

[newelybanded2016 14]

Still fighting nausea so bad! Every single time I try to sit,stand or get one drop of fluids on my stomach I'm fighting not to vomit. I have had a rough start with this. If I can't get myself better I'm going to ask to be admitted to the hospital and if my stomach does not adjust to where I can drink this band is coming out! MISERABLE!

Hang in there. It may be post op swelling but you may need to go to emergency to be checked out and hydrated

The first week was not good but now 7 months on 25kg lighter. So worth it but perhaps ring your surgeon for advice

Hi. Sorry to hear you are going through it... after what I just went through, I have to share.. I am on post op sleeve day 6 & was miserable for the first 3 days. I couldn't even open my mouth or eyes without dry heaving... hard. ugh. I had to have IV fluids w/ 2 anti-nausea meds & a patch behind my ear & wet wash cloths on my forehead to make me not want to puke. I was hospitalized for 5 days because after they did a CBC on me (& from what I remember,) I was told my hematocrit & hemoglobin levels were so low that I needed blood transfusions. I wasn't making enough red blood cells & to function and was experiencing severe anemia. Best advice I can give to you - is if it continues, go back to hospital ASAP. Positive vibes def sent your way.

Thank you so much for all the advice. It does give me some glimmer of hope to know I'm not the only one to go through this and with time it will hopefully get better. I spent the next day after surgery In Er as well I was dry heaving so bad I thought I ripped my guts out that was 2 days ago. Yesterday I fit a low grade fever all day and continued to drink Pedia lite to stay hydrated. Today no fever diluted the Pedia lite with Gatorade and all that seems to be going alot better. Just the nausea is sooooo bad if I could get that under control maybe I would be ok but as of now I'm super miserable and just praying for better days!

Better days are coming our way because we didn't get this far - to just get this far, right? If I was you, I would be getting a script of the best anti-nausea meds that your team can call in for you to your pharmacy. Hope it gets better soon!! I am still having this aching throbbing feeling in mid adbdomen since 4 a.m. We gotta have it a little more comfortable than this for us though lol

Better days are coming soon. [emoji93]I predict you will be so happy after you get through the first rough spell!

In a month, I'm hoping your life will seem so different, and you will be thankful you took a big step in improving your health.

Many of us had lingering doubt until we turned the first corner.

Best of luck, and Please keep posting[emoji122][emoji316]
