sick all the time

Hey Everyone, I am 13 months post op and I am sick all the time now I am going tomorrow for an ultrasound to see if there is a blockage or something. No matter what I eat or how much, I feel so nauseated and sick to my stomach. I am also "throwing up" stuff in my throat, but I don't let it come all the way out....TMI Next week I am having a CT scan with Contrast, and they want me to drink tons of barium....yuck!! how am I going to drink that much? Anyone have any of these tests post op?? Dr. Byrne said we have a bigger chance of adhesians and scar tissue the further out we are....don't know, but I feel like crap!! I feel like a newbie post op! Trying to stay hydrated and not get sick is hard. Saltines are okay, but not all the time Thanks guys, Hopefully someone will know what to do. Love, Deb

I had a CT scan earlier this year and had to drink the barium. It's not more than you can handle if you space it out....it just doesn't taste the best. You get to choose a flavor and refrigerate before drinking. I thought I was through with it and when I got to the hospital they had more for me to drink! They may need to do an endoscopy as well where the scope down your throat into your tummy to see if anything is amiss. I also had that done earlier this year and was knocked out so it was a breeze.

Hi Deb, I am so sorry to hear you are feeling bad. I just wanted to tell you that YOU LOOK GREAT! I don't think I would even recognize you now. I had to look twice to even realize that you had posted this. WOW!! I hope I look as good as you when I get there!! Keep it up. Hope you feel better. Theresa Z

Oh Deb I am so sorry that you feel bad..I will be praying for you and the outcome to not be serious. No I am going to pray right now for the Lord to fix what ever the problem is even beofre the test! And that you will be able to get the nutrients you need. In Jesus' Name Amen In Him, Joan

Poor Deb! You have had your share of JUNK poor gal! I really am praying for you. I hope they can get to the bottom of all this and help you get to feeling better.. Your new pic looks FAB by the way..

Hey Deb I hope they find out what's wrong...has it just happened? Or has it been gradual? I love your new picture..you look like your in your 20's !!!!! Hope you feel better soon Lesley

Thanks for all the replies both on the board and privately I am feeling better somewhat...sometimes I have bad stomach pains, and other times I am okay. I am going on the 17th to the gastro doc and to also have a CT scan that day with contrast. I have been taking Nexium and seems to help a little...I suppose, so maybe it is an ulcer?? Love you guys, and many thanks and blessings!! Deb
