6 wks out and feel blah



Recommended Posts

I'm now 6 weeks out, s/p Bypass. I vomit on a daily basis, sometimes multiple times a day. It doesn't matter what I eat or drink. Sometimes it will stay down and other times it won't, even Water. I'm really tired. Can't even stand up in the shower by myself anymore. I don't even have the urge to drink or eat most days. I've had to go in for IV infusions just to keep hydrated. My doctor doesn't seem too concerned. He just keeps giving me more and more meds to try and take and most of the time can't hold them down. Since my surgery, I haven't been able to hold down any Protein Shakes. I drink maybe about 6-8 oz of Fluid generally in a day. Some days I eat nothing and other days I may be able to have a bite of applesauce or 2 bites of an egg. Will this get better soon? Anyone else go through this?

Has he said anything about a possible stricture? I would ask that question. I have known others with the same symptoms and they had a stricture that was not allowing fluids or food of anykind to go down.

I am sorry you are having a complication. I hope they get it figured out soon. I cannot imagine how weak you feel.

I asked him about that last week and he said he didn't think it was necessary to do an EGD because he doesn't think I have one. I've made an appt with my GI doctor, but can't get in with him until the beginning of Jan. I'm not sure I even trust my surgeons opinion at this point.

      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?
