?setback?

I have begun having daily vomiting of mucous and occasional pain along with. So I thought I would email the program director for bariatric (I know her well, we work at the same hospital). I wasn't thinking it was any big deal, just wondered if I should do something different with my diet. After quite a few phone calls from her and then one from the surgeon, they have me on clear liquids only and nothing after midnight. Tomorrow I am having an ultrasound of my gallbladder and then a barium swallow and follow through. I wasn't worried til they started all this! Now I'm feeling like impending doom....but I was tolerating solids much better two weeks ago than this last week. Maybe we will get some answers. Sigh.

Hope things are well.  Will send up a prayer for you.  Sometimes when you know alot what might be going on, it makes it a little more of an anxious time.  You sound like you are in good hands though.  Hope things go well for you. 

Oh boy - I am sorry that this is going on with you.  Maybe your pouch just isn't ready for solids??  Glad they are going to get you in and check things out - better safe than sorry!!  Good Luck.  Don't fret too much - it's probably nothing major

I'll be thinking of you! Update us when you can.

Definitely follow through with what your Dr wants you to do, but to ease your mind a bit... i was having similar symptoms, and it was really about the timing of my meds. I take a PPI daily to reduce stomach acid. Not sure if RNY does that for the first few months out like VSG. And, I didnt have any burning or reflux... so go figure.

Hoping it is something small like that for you too. Good luck!

Well, the tests went well. No immediate problems have shown up so unless I hear differently, I guess I'm ok. I was just started on a PPI to reduce stomach acid and maybe that will help. Good news was I stopped and got weighed at the bariatric department and I'm down 29#!! No pain, no vomiting today but I haven't eaten any solids since wednesday....

There is always a bright side! Sometimes we have to dig a little harder... I hope things go well from here!

Glad your feeling better today and that things went well for you.  Gratz on the 29lbs!  That's great.  Happier days ahead.
