Post Gastric Bypass-lots Complications Posted: 08-26-04 14:23pm
I had the gastric bypass on march 25 2004.
For one month after my surgery I could
barely keep fluids down or get the protein
I needed. After 2 days of being home
from the hospital after surgery I was
admitted to the local I live near for
dehydration, nausea, vomiting. The upper
gi was normal as well as the abdominal
xrays and ct. My potassium level was a
little low so I had iv fluids with
potassium in it. Then after that month
things got a bit better when I got to the
soft food stage then solids for 3
months.
For the last month I have had chronic
severe 24hr day nausea, dry heaves upper
left quadrant pain after eating or
drinking, and constitpation.
One month ago I was admitted into local
hospital again for nausea ect. My
potasssium was a little low not much but
got better with iv fluids and was normal
b4 I left hospital. Still had some
trouble so I went to gstrointerologist
whom put me on protonix thinking acid
reflux. I was taken off the reglan as I
was still puking from that. In the
hospital the endoscopy was normal as were
the abdominal xrays and upper gi but it
took 12 hours to do. Everything moved
real slow. Also told use co,ace everyday
to help with bowels. Put on zofran 8 mg
for nausea 2 times daily. Still nausea.
Still pain upon eating or drinking.
Never hungry. Ealy saiety. Then
recentl;y I was back in the hospital for
nausea pain and dehydration. Potassium
level this time normal. Still cant
really eat actually I seem to
avaoidingbfood and drinking liquids more.
The nausea is 24 hr a day now. Just had
another endoscopy normal also a bravo ph
test will get results in 2 days. I am
now also at the point I cant get the
supplements I need. Im tired, exhausted
ect. I just wish I knew what was going
on.
Any1 else have thises syptoms. Any idea
on what can be done.. Al my blood work
comes back normal including liver and
pancreatic enzymes.. Potasium is fine so
is calcium.
Im exhausted and can only deal with my
problems but have a 13 yrold whom needs
his mommy.
Trying to work while all this is going on.
Luckily I have a understanding boss whom
by the way the one whom admitted me into
the hospital in the last 2 times in one
month.
