I had gas in the hospital and was sent home with Reglan. It worked wonderfully for me. Of course, your surgeon or PCP would have to prescribe it. Call your surgeons office. Better safe than sorry. in Pa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Thanks . I am keeping water down now. Going to GNC soon and see if I can get some pre-made protein drinks. Hoping maybe I can keep them down. I really am not sure what will work and rather paranoid about this happening again. I'm not afraid of throwing up once in a while, but 12 hours of that and gas was awful. I know people have been through worse. But, no one wants to go there. This will be my first outing by myself. It dawned on me that I am over the 2 week limit on driving so I am going to go out in a little while.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Hi , I'm not sure I understand. I am able to keep sips of water down now and I don't have any pain except my muscles which are just sore. It's been many hours now since I had gas or threw up. So shouldn't I be ok as far as not having to go to the hospital? I haven't tried to drink any protein. It doesn't feel like it would settle well. in California Open RNY - 03/29/02 272.5/254 - as of 04/10/02 Re: Painful gas - help You're scaring me. You could have a blockage, stoma or intestinal.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 This is all so new to me. It sounds funny to go have a liter of fluid pumped in to me.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 OK, I only read as far as got up & vomiting. So, freaked there. Remember I get up to a couple hundred emails, so takes awhile to get to the latest edition. If you can sip--OK, hold hand relaxed but relatively straight. Pinch skin on the knuckle of hand to finger, let go, how long does it take to go back down? Poke finger into ankle, leaves white mark? Nothing?

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 2 seconds is a long time. You shouldn't be able to count at all. OK, so how much can you realistically say you've gotten in water today? Since potassium affects your heart, you may need to go in long enough to get hydrated only.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 , dear, have you talked to your doctor? Doc can call in something for you for nausea/vomiting, that will make everything calm down. Then it's much easier to get rehydrated. Wouldn't hurt to have it on hand for the future, too...

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Hi Peggy Ann, I haven't called the doctor cause I hate bothering him on a Sunday. I just came back from buying some premixed protein drinks and as soon as they are cold I am going to try one. Still sipping on water. You're right, having that on hand would be good, although I would love to think this wasn't going to happen again Thanks for your concern! in California Open RNY - 03/29/02 272.5/254 - as of 04/10/02 Re: Painful gas - help , dear, have you talked to your doctor?

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 - I know it's kinda scary seeing what is going through, but it's not the norm. Not everyone goes through this. She's just lucky, I guess. :-) We are just concerned that she will become dehydrated and get much sicker than she is right now. This group of friends would rather err on the side of caution, and might overreact sometimes, but it's cause we care so darn much. When is your surgery date? Mine is in 5 1/2 weeks. Take care.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 No, not normal. In fact, now I'm wondering if the milk caused all this. It's possible, and some vomit from extreme pain. Milk makes me wish I could stab me in the guts and let the pain out. So, not only will it make me fat again, but it hurts so bad I cannot think of it! She could have had a flu bug, or any single thing that she did or didn't do. We'll probably never know, unless milk does this to her again. It is not NORMAL to be this sick. It is NORMAL to have a break-in period, though. A learning curve. Oops, this doesn't work, aahhhhhhh, this works great. And the learning curve can go on for quite awhile! OH yes!
