Warning: Total Rant

WARNING: This is just a vent post.

The book the doctor gave me said there will be times of regret and right now I wish I had never had this surgery.  My RNY was 4/19/11 and I have had so many bad experiences. I've been in and out of the hospital. I am super sensitive to smells and they make me "throw up". On top of that I have  excess saliva that's unexplained and can't sleep at night.  I hate food and the thought of eating because of how miserable it makes me feel.  Now for the positive, I'm sure this will change.  Sometimes I just feel like I can't keep going.  I'm blessed that I was able to have the surgery that I know so many people want.  Right now I'm just in a bad place with it but staying prayerful.  I  was at a place where I couldn't even hold food down at all so things are hopefully going to get better.

 Whew!  You are incredible if in the middle of your toughest time you can stay prayerful and positive.  I am inspired.  Hang in there.

I'm really sorry you're having such a hard time.  My experience was not that bad but I did have a lot of nausea for quite a while after surgery.  I can't make you any promises but I can tell you most likely it will get better, but no one can say when and I know it's hard to hang in there.

Your hormones are ALL.OVER.THE.PLACE.

It get's better I promise.

I am new and having the surgery done August 15th here in Montreal. I am scared **** and having doubts big time. This is my chance to make my life happy and more heatly. Goodluck with everything and hope it gets better for you sending big hugs to you. Reading this makes me want to say never mind I will pass. But then everyone's body is diff and we all react differently.

I went through the same thing.  I never regretted surgery but I had "foamies"  and had so spit everytime I ate something, the thought of food made me sick.  I tried fruit and found out I was a "dumper".

Believe me when I tell you.."This too shall pass".

Your body has been through major surgery.  You are still adjusting and yes...YOUR HORMONES ARE RAGING!  It is ok to vent.  That is what we are here for! 

Stay on this site and get support!  You didn't go into what you have been hospitalized for but I hope that all is well now and you can get over your hurdle. 

Just try to remain positive and look forward to those WOW! moments and there will be many of them!

Keep your head up!

Some people do seem to get more than their portion of the harsher after-effects; I'm sorry it's happening with you.

Having said that, what I really wanted to do is recognize is your awesome attitude. It makes me want to reach through the internet and give you a squeeeeeeeze. You are going through a really rough patch, you are still too early to have seen the real, positive payoffs of your decision, and you are being so strong! While you recognize that it sucks, you are accepting, waiting, and optimistic.

Which makes me believe that you are going to be a smashing success once this all works through.
Keep up those great spirits, post often, and  .

Hi, i have a lot of the same problems as you. I had the saliva and foam mixed in the hospital but once they gave me acid reflux meds it went away. Maybe your dr can give you the meds for the nausea, i was on that for the first month and it saved me many times. I have the problem of my new stomach doesn't like anything, not kidding when i say i eat the same thing everyday. The few things it likes, is what I eat. It is really rough and i would be happy with never eating ever again. I also didn't sleep but 2 hrs at a time for months. I have no regrets, it is the best thing I could have did for myself Stay positive it will get better
