Update 2 months and one week out

Apr 26, 2010

well y'all it has been a ride and if anybody would have told me you can go through what i have been going through i probably would have not had the surgery i have been regretting it since i got hospitalized with the hematoma in my stomach i have not been able to stop throwing up stomach bile i am giving you the details cause i want you guys to know the truth not just the good i have e been nauseated for over a good month now and almost hospitalized again today  because of the nausea and vomiting i still cannot eat regular food my primary Dr put me back on a liquid diet today but i don't have a problem because it has been like i have always been on it since the surgery i did start to where i could eat fruit only and not regular food only certain fruits and i was good then the raglan i was taking for the nausea stop working and made my legs feel like they were not there i am so tired of feeling sick i thought this surgery was to make me get better i was not this sick before the surgery i would like to know if any one else has gone through this and how long it lasted and what medicine combos did you try some thing to get me through this mess.

where to start omg>>>>

Apr 04, 2010

Well guys I am m now about 6 weeks out of surgery  and this has been the worst thing of my life as of right now i have been back in the hospital because i cannot stop throwing up and to  make it worse i have not been eating because i don't want to throw up but even if i drink water i throw up so listen to this i am gonna take you back it started with me throwing up a little and then i noticed blood inside the vomit so i called my surgeon and was told that it was OK and only if i was throwing up clots would it be bad so mean while i continued to take the phenagren and continued to throw up with blood it got to the point i went to the ER from there i was told that i had a Hematoma in the excluded portion of my stomach and was sent home and told to call my surgeon in which i did and again was not told anything to my satisfaction i was told that the only thing they could do was what it and wait backing up hemtoma is a blood cyst.

OK after talking to the surgeon office i went another day of throwing up almost one whole week of this cant even get up to take care of my children i was so sick so i called my primary Dr and was told to come in i told him about the er and what the surgeons office said and he was  like you cant keep throwing up like this especially since you just have this surgery i then i ran out of his office to throw up in the middle of the visit so immediately he sent me for  a ct  scan  by the time i got  there i felt so bad they had to put me in a wheel chair i got typed up and then wheel to the ex ray dept to sit .........sit.........sit...... then was told this was a 4 hour prep  i said what ever by that time i started to throw up again and could not stop the ex ray tech basically wheeled me to er and told me to sign in this time from the er i was admitted for 6 days and probably should have been longer but i had to get out of there still i throw up everyday like there is something wrong with my stomach i can eat anything with out the feeling of having to throw up i hold it most of the time but i  cant all the time but there is still blood in it  i am so frustrated has anybody else ever went through this despite all that i am loosing the weight ya think lol i am now weighing in today at 298.4 if anybody ever says to me you took the easy way out i promise i will slap them descent  because by God this is not easy  help me family oh and before i forget thanks Latresa R. for coming to see me while i was in the hospital through all this even before surgery you have been such and good friend you my angel thanks girl i really mean it from the bottom of my heart you are a special person every one should have a friend like you. y'all this women has been there for me through all of this she is only a phone call away.
