Home from the hosp...Feeding Tube??

Hi everyone.... Well I'm home. I took everyone's advice on Sunday night when I posted about calling my surgeon. I went up to Cleveland (1hr away) and checked into the ER at 10am Monday. Too make a long story short, I was in ER from 10am until 7pm when they decided to admit me. During this time I had blood drawn 2 times and had to get scoped. OH MY. That was an experience. So they stuck the camera down my throat into my pouch and into my intestines. I didn't eat or drink ANYTHING yesterday. They hooked me up to IV's because I was dehydrated AGAIN!!! Had problems finding veins. Of course. They always do. I got to my room at 7:05pm and a huge migraine decided to bless me. OMG it was awful. I haven't experienced one like that in years. This morning I had to have a CAT scan of my belly done. EEEEWWWW I had to drink the YUCKY stuff I had to do it with all my might to keep it down. So basicly, they have found nothing wrong. Dr. Sonpal said that if on Friday I'm still nauseated, they will be putting in a feeding tube in my side. I DON'T THINK SOOO. I will keep everything down!!!!! Also has anyone heard from your surgeon that after surgery your "prego hormone" rises??? I said I'm not prego and he said you don't have to be it the hormone level that rises if you still have your ovaries. OH, did I learn something today. So that may be what is causing me to be nausea/gagging/dry heaving. Anyway sorry for the long post, just wanted to keep everyone updated!!! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers for me. Carmella

Carmella, I am so happy that nothing major was found wrong with you. Hopefully you the nausea/gagging/dry heaving will subside so that you will not have to have a G tube incerted. Take care of yourself. Georgeann

Glad to hear they checked you out... as for the 'morning sickness hormone' it's called progesterone and it's a fat soluble hormone... so meaning as you burn off the fat, your body is releasing it's "stores" of progesterone... I REALLY feel for you... When I was preg with my son, they made me take progesterone tabs every day... MAN was I ever sick!!!! NOTHING stayed down... I lost 25 lbs while preg!! Good luck hon... :hugs:
