Help me am I dying?

I got my vs just last Tuesday and it still feels like a have a huge basketball in my belly. Instead of feeling good, I barely have enough energy to walk and talk. I've some teaspoons some liquid vitimins and part of a can of pured potato soup and a half can of Glercena that probably saved my life.I can 's seem to eat or drink ANYTHING that doesn't just come right up as the foamies. Has anyone encountered any of this before. What should I do. I got my sleeve in Mexico. Wasting away mind and body, Island girl

Do you have fever ?  My first suggestion would be to go to a doctor to be sure you do not have an infection - I would say that is VERY important at this point. Also, not many of us in the MS board have had VS, have you tried the VS gastrectomy forum ?  They would have more info, especially as you need information ASAP - I really hope you can get this checked out, and  please come back and post how you are doing, or what you have found out or done.  DeAnna

gas and pressure can make you feel that way, too--the basketball in your belly feeling.  and good lord, liquid vitamins are enough to make you feel like you're gonna die (or they did me when I tried them pre WLS).  but again, this board is not in place of medical advice from a physician.  Where did you plan to f/u  post-op anyway?  what type reaction did your surgeon tell you to expect?  sometimes gas just makes you feel yuck.  and post-op is a hard time no matter what type surgery you've had. if you really think you're dying, go to an ER.  if you can stand to wait for an appt somewhere, find a physician or surgeon who knows about WLS. i would also like to add that the things you mentioned eating--liquid vitamins, potato soup and even glucerna--those things are harsh on your system and hard for your body to digest on a good day--much less a week post-op.  have you tried jus****er?  or chicken broth?  something *clear* instead of thick?!  again, I know nothing of the gastric sleeve, but post roux-en-y, i cannot tolerate anything milky (like the glucerna) and it took me a long time to tolerate potato soup.  Try something more clear like broth or watered down apple juice...back up back up back up...go very very slowly with it.  add a cracker or two if you want substance. good luck...hope you're better soon...

I am assuming you had a vertical sleeve. That is what I have. If you haven't already please go to our forum and repost. You will get tons of replys. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/VSG/a,messageboard/board_i d,5463/ Are you taking anything for acid.  You should be on prevacid solutabs or something for stomach acid. That will stop the foamies. Also you should be on clear liquids for a week. I don't know who your doctor was but they should have told you this. Have you called your doctor. Do you have any fever. With the sleeve we very, very rarely have any problems. Your stomach will be swollen and you will only be able to take very small sips, but you need to sip, sip, sip all day. You need to try your best ti get in 64 oz of water a day. Ice chips helped me alot!
