i think....

i have an obstuction, from the salmon i ate today. i'm hurting so bad. i only had that coffee this am and that was at like 630. i haven't been able to take any water, it comes right back up. my chest feels like someone is pushing from the inside out, kinda like when i had the gallstone, but not having difficulty breathing. i spoke w/ the oncall doc and she says if i can't take any liquids by tomorrwo am, i need to go to the er... this suck....

Gina, I hope that this resolves itself and you are able to start drinking, if not,a trip to the ER for you. I know that is not where you want to go but you will have to get things checked out. Let us know how you make out. Sher

Here's a big hug...I hope you feel better! Let us know what's goin' on, ok?

Oh No. I hope it will pass on its own. I did have a Thanksgiving day dilema like that when I got a piece of turkey stuck. I was in so much pain and couldn't get anything to go down or to stay in~it was 8hrs of pure hell!!! Finally, I went to sleep and I think once my body relaxed the darn turkey slid thru. I woke up pretty sore inside, but feeling much better. Did a few days of soft foods and then was fine. I hope that you don't need to go to the ER. Hang in there!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gina, you didn't say what time you had the salmon.  If it was a lunch and you still can't keep down water, you may want to consider going to the ER now and not waiting.  Your symptoms also sound like when I had my appendix out.  We always tend to blame GB for everything, when there could be something else going on. I do hope it resolves itself, but if not, don't wait too long.  Good Luck! Michele

Gina, just wondered how you're feeling today? Did you have to go to the ER???

Gina, How is it going? Have you tried meat tenderizer? I had chicken stuck last Christmas and sipped warm water with meat tenderizer dissolved in it. It really did work.

good morning everyone, to answer a few post from earlier, i had the salmon at 12 noon yesterday went to the er at 7, but ended up leaving at about 9:30 because they weren't going to triage me until about midight... go figure. so i asked my DH to pick me up and i went home took 2 vicodins, dry and went to bed. i can tell that i am dehydrated and i'm still not very hungry today, but i have to actually go to work today, so i'm going to try and take soft foods, i might try some hummus and see how that stays down. it felt  like the sypmtoms from my gallstone, but i had that removed 3 months postop from wls. it hurt soooooooooooo bad that, in the begining i couldn't even lay down..... thx everyone for your kind words.... gina

Gina, how are you feeling now?  Let us know how you are! Michele
