Recovery is H E L L

I had revision from veg to rny on 9/9, and about 21/2 weeks later I was re-admitted to the hospital for 4 days. Now at 3 weeks I am still in pain (abdominal, shoulder, headache) and dry heaving - no fever. I have not been able to eat anything but chicken and veggie broth. I have tried unflavored protein, but I break into a cold sweat with heart palpitations. CT scans were negative and so was upper GI. What concerns me is that now I can only drink 2-3 cups of liquid a day.

i feel so miserable. I don't feel better at all. Surgeon says stomach is inflamed and healing. He is leaning toward lupus having a negative impact on my healing, but he won't say for sure.

That is rough. Saying a prayer for you. Just keep sipping the fluids, that's the most important. Good Luck.

Ahhh i am so sorry to here that! My prayers are with you! Stick in there and keep fighting, keep the strength and you'll persevere!

Thank you both.

I'm so sorry you're going through so much. I hope things turn around for you soon. I had a rough recovery as well. It did get better...it just took longer than most. Thinking of you!

Jumps shouts and screams I HATE LUPUS. I also have lupus. Stay strong, you are in my prayers.

Thank you for your support. I'm feeling so much better now, but still has a way to
