Jodi, try and get down as many fluids as you can handle. Personally, I can't

handle many when I am vomiting. But I've had a bunch of 24 hour bugs in the

last few years. You aren't going to die. You're just going to wish you

could.

Get plenty of rest, sweetie, and if there is someone you can whine to, whine

your little heart out, and let them wait on you hand and foot.

lurker, ill, with a question please

hello everyone,

i need to make this short. first.. my name is jodi, a few of you may

remember

me, i had my RNY in jan of '99. everything fine.

this morning i know i developed a stomach virus... the exact kind i had when

i was a child, and have not had since. after vomiting a few times as well as

diarreah... sorry for being so specific but i feel so sick now... i began

dry

heaving... chills, nausea, sweats... typical 24 hour bug.

the reason for this letter is that i am scared because i have never had this

since surgery and wanted to know if any of you out there have and if there

was

something to worry about or not.

i put a call in to my internist, as well as the surgeon, but was hoping one

of you out there would give me some info.

thanks in advance
