Home and Sick

I had my Laproscopic  RNY surgery Tuesday (June 24th) and everything went good and for that i'm very happy as I had a lot of pre-surgery jitters. I got to come home Thursday (June 26th) only to have to go back to the hospital for extreme pain and neausea in the middle of my stomach and a lot of diaherra. I havent really been able to eat much since I got home it just wants to come back up and the dry heaves about kill me!  They thought I might have  had a gastronial bug that  I might have caught during surgery...so they ran alot of blood test, did a cat scan to make sure stomach wasnt leaking.. chest xray for pneumonia etc... and everything looked good they said. They put me on pain meds and some anti-neausea meds and they help somewhat for a bit.  I keep hoping i'll wake in the morning with this glourous outlook at having this surgery and I really envy the ones saying its been so great for them and how good they feel! I really want that feeling too right now! I have a doctors appt next week and I guess i'll go from there.  I just wondered if any others out there experienced this same thing after having surgery??? If so what ended up being the cause??? Any suggestions???  I just dont know what to do to feel better right now.   Thanks everyone...

Hi there.  Just wanted to say I'm sorry that you feel badly.  I am a patient of Dr. Jan's, as well.  If there is something making you sick (infection, etc.) I'm sure he'll find it.  Just hang in there.   Keep us posted. Nola

I'm sorry you're feeling so awful.  I had a few days after surgery when I thought 'why the heck did I do this?' but it was just because I felt queasy and weak, not because I had a lot of pain or couldn't eat anything.  I do hope they figure out what is bothering you and get you on the road to wellness soon!
