Can't keep food or water down



Recommended Posts

I am having a tough time. Nothing is staying down for over 2 weeks now. I have tried the liquid diet, the frozen diet, I am throwing up everything, even liquids. The acid reflux is awful and smells like rotten eggs.

I began getting cramps in my legs yesterday, and today they extend to my arms. I have no doctor in MD, as I had my lap band in Detroit.

I can not go to the local ER, they have no lap band knowledge at all (Anne Arundel County)

Help

You need to get into a doctor asap! It sounds like you are dehydrated. My surgeon is Dr. Babak Molinolmolki with the Greater Baltimore Medical Center. He's a little aloof but really cares about his patients. He and his staff are always ready to answer questions. You might try giving them a call, tell them that your surgery was in Detroit but you now reside in MD and need follow up care. Please don't wait any longer! Good luck!

443-849-3779, his staff just call him Dr. M because no one can say his name. Let me know if you need anything else! Good Luck and be sure and let me know how is goes.

Hello MaHall you are dehydrated go to the ER and they will give you an IV. Check your local hospitals on line and find one with gastric doctors. Try Sibley Hospital, George Washington Hospital and Washington Hospital Center.

      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.
