been here for a few hrs. been throwing up. can't even keep two sips of water down so im not surprised im dehydrated.

been having killer reflux issues too, took some oral Nexium, that came up too =/ im two weeks out & feel like crap.

im in a normal ER so they aren't so familiar w the VSG which makes it hard for them to understand i can gulp dwn this 30ml cup of "contrast" in an hour. smh.

hope they figure out something i need to get my liquids in.

pray for me.

hope this post comes out right, im typing w one finger on my phn.

(((hugs))) to you... I hope they can figure it out soon! 

Hopefully some IV fluids and something for nausea will get you feeling a bit better, and they can figure out what the problem is!

Keep us posted!

Can you/have you contacted your surgeon yet? The local ER is only good for stabilization (IV fluids). If you want the correct kind of treatment you need to be seen in the same hospital that your surgeon and the rest of the bariatric team work out of if at all possible. If not then find out what hospital in the area does have a bariatric program and go there for help. I know how it is. Out of the dozen or so hospitals around me, there are two that understand WLS within a 50 mile radius of where I live and both of them are a long drive for me.

My fingers are crossed that this will pass soon!... Craig

OMG Shovontae, I'm saying a prayer for you right now. Have them contact Dr. Mann and he should be there ASAP. I'm so sorry you are having complications. Keep me posted!
