Wow, I haven't had my op yet so can not comment but just wanted to say. If you feel that poorly can you not ring your team again Monday and explain to them that you can not wait till Wednesday and you need to see them now. Or at least speak to them on the phone.
I really hope you fee better soon, you have done so well try not to get too disheartened I'm sure it's just a blip. Good luck and hope you feel your normal self real soon.

Take care xx

Hi Sammy i am almost 9 months post op but sorry i'v not felt like that but do think you should see your team, do you think something may be stuck or do you have any pain, i know i have read some where, it is common to get absesses where they cut and joined things, not that i want to scare you but thats a possibility, yeah like lady above said you may have to ring your team gain tomorrow, if you can't take nuther3 days without knowing whats going ob and feeling the way you do, think you should get checked out. You have done so well so far, our bodies are really complex things, someone needs to take a look at ya. xx

If your the same today and tomorrow go straight to A+E in the morning, at least they can start the tests to get to the bottom of it. I was told by my bariatric team to go to A+E if i noticed that things were not right, clearly something is not right so go get checked out.

Hope you feel better real soon

I'd go straight to A+E now if I were you. Especially if you have been like that for two weeks. Go get yourself checked out ASAP and take care xx

 

[Nellyphant]

I agree with the others, you should go to A&E or at least be on the phone to your team first thing tomorrow.

 

[Vonone]

Sounds awfull, especially after doing so well. I'm a novice, but I agree with the others get yourself checked ASAP.

 

[chrisa]

Hi

Don't know if this will be any help but I was fine untill 10 weeks then suddenly started getting pain every time I tried to eat, and could only eat a fraction of what I was. I had a read through the booklet I was given and under the problems section it said pain on eating could be an ulcer forming at the pouch joint, so I went back on lanzoprazol and after two days the pain went away so going to take them for another month just to be sure. This may be what you have and if it is you need to be seen soon to get medication before it gets so bad it needs to be fixed by surgery. Sorry if this panics you but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Hi

Just a bit curious,wondering why you able to stop your Lansoprazole?you say your 9mths post op.
I'm 16 mths post op and still take mine,and have to take for life.
Why are do hospitals give different advice/rules for the same op...I just don't get it!

Hi, after reading your post i can only answer the bit that you ask has anyone else felt like this.......i will answer yes to that, I have been feeling sick since the day of my surgery, its almost like morning sickness just all of the time where food is concerned, I ended up having panic attacks as i couldn't eat anything as i always felt sick once i had a drink or a full cup pf tea....it took me some 4 months to finaly get appointment to see my surgeon in the mean time i went from a size 26 to a size 10 in 5 months, when i saw the surgeon he told me that i am not to lose anymore weight i was 9 stone then, he put me on anti-sickness pills so i could force some food down as i was becoming malnurished, i know weigh 7 stone 10lb and i'm having a endoscopy to find the cause of nausea, there have been rumors of a reversal bounded about but i dont want to have come this far just to go backwards, I know how your feeling and a wise lady once told me "it will get easier" and it will, take the rough with the smooth and be proud of what you have acheived, p.s make sure you get a endoscopy or as the other members have mentioned make sure you get seen asap as the earlier they detect a problem the easier it is to fix it xx i truly wish you all the best (ask for metrocloprimide aka anti sickness to help you eat and stay nourished) xxxx
