Nausea/eating issues 3 months out

HIJACK-

Sorry but I saw a post tht made me think of some info you need Tif.

The symptoms you are describing are the first signs of dehydration.  If you're not taking enough fluids

in,that's what happens. 

Doesn't matter which surgery you had, at this stage of the game, for you, FLUIDS FIRST!!!

Also, don't be afraid to ask you doctor to set you up for IV fluids.  It doesn't mean you failed at this.  I

went in twice for IV fluids at 4 and 6 weeks out. It's just like anything else medical that we would seek

help for. 

Feel better...and if you need  IV fluids, by all means ask for it!

I will try that but like today nothing is good and I don't like having an empty stomach cause that's icky too. 

I was a virgin DS, but I had eating problems for two months.  The solution for me was an upper endoscopy that was ordered to see what was gong on in there.

The scope stretched my sleeve somewhat, and I've been eating like a champ ever since. 

I'm not sure if they can do that with you, but it might be worth a shot to ask your surgeon.

My follow up surgeon is another matter entirely.  I haven't seen the Dr that did my surgery since I was in the hospital.  Everything goes through the follow up surgeon now.  He prescribed Zofran but my insurance will only pay for 21 pills a month unless the Dr calls them to request they pay for more.  I called my Drs office and requested he call in.  The nurse called me back to tell me there was nothing he could do.  I explained again what he could do to help.  The nurse said she'd talk to him again.  Then they never called back.  I really feel like I'm on my own now.  

I don't seem to have any issues with food getting stuck though.

Are you feeling any better?  

No not feeling any better. I'm actually back in h the hospital with very low potassium.  

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that!  Hopefully, you won't be there long.
