Need help! 2 weeks out...

I have HORRIBLE pains in my stomach that started about 3 days ago, and just keeps progressing. I have an appt with my surgeon tomorrow, but I am so so sick. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?????? I started pureed liquids 4 days ago, and when all this started I had about 1/2 teaspoon of soggy saltines in soup. My nurse said that is not the problem and keep on trying to get fluids in. I am at the point, I can get NOTHING in. The nurse told me to take Immodium, I tried and just kept dry heaving it up. Even a sip of water will get me dry heaving. I have terrible cramping, like I have diarrhea, but don't. I JUST NEED TO KNOW THIS WILL PASS< AND IT WILL NOT BE THIS WAY FOREVER?!!?! Michelle Lap RNY 9/26/06, lost aobut 28 pounds so far, that is the only thing keeping me strong at the moment.

I'm so sorry sweetie. I don't know what it could be, but I'll be praying for ya. Keep us updated. Darlene

Hang in there till you can get to the doctor. If you think you are getting dehydrated then go to the ER. Keep us posted We will be thinking of you Feel better soon Sandy

How are you now? It could be a stricture. PLEASE keep fluids in try sugar free popsicles. Sometimes having something really cold helps and every little bit of fluid helps... They were a life saver for me. I had a stricture and couldn't keep anything down either, not uncommon and easy to fix. Keep us posted. Mel

By description - it almost sounds like something got stuck...but on fluids?? Hmm...hang in there, go to ER if necessary, keep trying the fluids, and get to the doc ASAP.

Ok the first thing to do is not freak out it makes things 10 times worse. It could still be gas from surgery you may have a bubble keep moving around and it can work out. I remember I went through a similar time thinking I was going to die and then I got up one morning and poof gone. It will pass just don't freak out. Your surgeon will help you out to trust him and do what he says. Keep your head up loser! Les
