where to go?
Good day everyone...I was just wondering if we are having problems or feeling ill and need to go to emergency do we go to the hospital we had the surgery or TWH...i had RNY at St. Mikes but went through TWH...i am 9 weeks post op and whenever i eat or drink it hurts and or also i vomit.. i reverted back to the liquid stage this week to see if it would help but it still is very uncomfortable. I am afraid to eat because of the pain and vomiting..any suggestions will definately help
Thanks
Mary

If you follow all the rules (portion - kind of food - slow etc..) and you still have pain I would go to where you had the surgery. I also would phone my surgeon and ask. there is a change it appears. If it is urgent - urgent to go emerge - but if you can I would go to where they did do my OR. Just 2c worth. :) Hope you get better soon!!

Assuming you're not a plane ride away from St Mike's thats where I would go and now! They have the residents that belong to the bariatric program and you're likely to see one of them first, perhaps after an ER doc or NP. Those residents have the numbers for their attendings (bariatric surgeons) and will call them if they're mystified. Take all you meds with you and a good book.
Hmmm.... please call your surgeon. Your symptoms sound similar to a stricture.
