2 1/2 years out and so sick

I posted this around midnight and a lady was kind enough to tell me that I was on the wrong board.  Here is a re=post: Post Date: 4/2/08 9:44 pm
I had revision RNY in 2005 and only lost 8 pounds last year.  Since the end of January I have lost 30 pounds, been constantly nauseus and in constant pain.  I had an endoscopy last week and found out that I have a nickel size ulcer at the top of my pouch that has eaten half way through.  Doc put me on Nexium and pain pills on Thursday.  I felt a bit better until Monday...then I started with the nausea and pain.  Can't eat, nothing tastes right and I have dry heaves every time I try to eat.  (Ihave been unable to throw up since my surgery).  On the two occassions that I did throw up, it was right away and what came up is exactly what went down.  Tonight I got sick again (on tomato soup made with water, not milk), dry heaves as usual, but started vomiting nasty tasting, sour bile.

I was so sick and afraid that I called my surgeon's answering service and got the doc on call. He told me I would be o****il tomorrow as long as I can drink and keep it down.  He completely ignored the throwing up bile thing.  I am afraid that maybe my ulcer perforated my stomach and that this is not right.  I am very scared.  I reiterated that I CAN'T THROW UP and this was highly unusual for me.  He just told me to talk to my surgeon about it tomorrow.

Anyone ever had anything like this?  Am I just being paranoid?

Thank you for any input.

I'm sorry you are feeling so sick - I don'' have any medical advice, all I can say is that if you are concerned and do not want to wait til morning, go to your ER. This is your health and you have to be proactive for yourself. I hope you feel better soon and that it is nothing too serious.

OK  it sounds like BILE is actually coming through your mouth.  You are also not holding anything but  gagging.   When those things were happening to me, I had a bowel obstruction and they told me that if I waited, I  would have perforated wthin the next 12-24 hours which would have caused bile leakage in my abdominal cavity and if not treatly timing is fatal.  If I had perforated, I could have rapidly become septic and it may have been too late!!!!!! FOR ME, if I had waited until the next day, I may have lost my life. Please do let us know what you decide and what that find!!!!!!  You can also PM me! Get well, Kim!

Thank you so much for the input.  I had another bad night, but didn't throw up bile,,,just dry heaves.  I go to see my doctor this morning and will see what he says. I read your profile and you have had QUITE a journey!  God bless you! 

Hi Kim, Hope you feel better soon. Go see your doc and see what he has to say. Let us know what happens. Sandy
