I just got out of the hospital becasue I could not hold down food or water.  I am still very nauseous and they cannot find what is wrong.  I was scoped and CT'd, no obstruction or strictures or ulcers found.  My surgeon is at a loss as to what could be wrong.  It has been almost two weeks since I have been able to eat without feeling very sick.  I went a whole week without even eating at all.  I have not been going outsidde the diet or eating too fast.  Any help?

Wow, that is tough. :(

So they haven't found anything at all? I know it's a reach but perhaps you have a bug? I dunno, probably not.

What about an infection? Are you in pain? A friend of mine has an infection and was really sick from it, after surgery. They had to go in and cut it out.

I have no fever, so they ruled out infection, I am going to call my surgeon and see if he can put me on antibiotics just in case.  I am in pain, so that is a thought!  thank you!

Hmm...  I would lean towards a leak, cause my doctor said nausea was a sign of a leak, and he said fever can be a sign of infection... maybe you have some sort of leak that's a leak from your pouch into your old stomach? That wouldn't necessarily create infection but it might make you nauseated. I'm not a doctor or anything like one, but that's what I wold think. I wonder how they tested you for leaks?... Keep us updated please! I want to know you're doing okay.
