Rough nite

OK, i waited 3 hours and was told to drink (REal slow ) some warm liquid , to help disolve all the pills that are seemingly lodged in my pouch , idrink 2 oz of hot chichen broth and 30 minutes later was throwing it up , BAD FEELING ,,,, But as soon as i threw up i felt better , i then called Joys and she said she wanted to page the DR , The Dr called me and i explained my day and he has said the meds this morning were the problem and now that i have thrown up several times , my pouch is sensitive and in spasms , and the opening may be swollen a lil smaller maken it harder to take in anything . So we are going to hold off on anything til tommorrow and let things calm down ,,, The Dr said i should have never been told by the nurse at the hospital to take my pills .. LIVE an LEarn HUH ?... I want everyone to know that i have complete trust and DR Burrowes and Joys in the support group i just think there has been a comunication break down somewhere between the drs office to the support group ( cause the surpport group never knew i was there ) and between the hospital relaying the right info to the patient .I have a positive outlook ,, and i feel ok now ,, and tommorrow will be a better day Thanks fot listening again Travis PS I LOVE my wife ,,,, what a trooper

Poor Travis!!! I have a VERY hard time with my pills, and I USED to take a handful of them all at once pre-op... but NOW... I have to cut them into teeny little pieces... I have one I have to cut into 4 pieces... It's pretty trial and error....also, keep in mind, that as you shrink, you will want to check with your doc about the dosages, as some meds are prescribed based on weight... I sure hope you get to feeling better soon... -Tami

Awww, so sorry you've had a rough start. I hope the Pouch quites down and you're feeling better soon. I'm surprised you didn't know before had that whole pills are a no-no. You've got to crush tablets and take capsules apart. Mix in a tablespoon of s/f applesauce and swallow down. I hope the worse is over. Keep reading the messages in the forum, there's a wealth of knowledge. Marrilee open RNY 9/30/04 Dr Appel

Travis, I am sorry you are having some trouble. I am glad that you have a loving wife who can take care of you and help you through this. Even though we don't know her, give her a hug for taking care of our friend. Hugs, Debra
