are u doing any better? sorry u feel so bad. my surgery is in 8 days and i am a little scared. i wish u the very best. stay in contact.

Stomach still upset but ate jello and drank water. Still feel nauseous

The surgical team walks in, says if you can drink water we won't have to give you upper GI which is a complete contradiction to what they said last night. After all that's why they admitted me.

Gah!!! Sometimes hospitals/doctors can be so flakey. So what's the outcome??

Well it turns out I had unusually high cortisol levels. In other words my anxiety was soooo bad I was causing stomach pain to an already healing stomach. I felt like the biggest jerk but the nurse was incredible because she said this is very common for bariatric patients. I'm still having a tough time but it's no way as bad as it was before. With the help of some meds I'm calm and relaxed.

Oh my...I am so sorry you are going through these difficult times. When it all gets "squared away' I am sure you'll be on your way. Prayers for you. <3

Thanks for the support!

I'm glad that they figured it out. Stress can wreak havoc on our bodies. Hopefully now that they have figured it out you will start to heal.

Absolutely!

So happy they went with drugs before any surgical procedure... Worry, anxiety + fear happen to all of us friend.. u are not alone
I had mine done in Mex.
One good reason to have it locally.

[KidEmerson]

I had an Ileus from the surgery. After 5 days, I was re-admitted because my colon was paralyzed. Nothing stayed down because there was no room. But I had tremendous pain in my lower abdomen.

Oh wow, sorry to hear that. Glad to hear everything was corrected right? I was finally discharged and I'm excited for the next phase. Although I wound up hurling yogurt. But I admit I took that last spoonful too fast.

How are you feeling ? Any better and keeping stuff down ?

I'm much better today. Discharged about 9:30am. Stomach is fine thanks to Zofran. I did throw up after eating yogurt after I was already full so that's my bad. Other than that I feel great? Gonna weigh in once all the IV fluids pass through

So glad to hear you are starting to feel better! Hopefully things remain good and you are able to keep some stuff down and continue on your path! Big hugs!
