Hospitalized - Any thoughts/Ideas

[TraceyT]

I've been in the hospital on and off for the last couple of weeks. I'm currently back at home.

I've been having issues keeping food down. Pretty much throwing up everything - including water. I've been dehydrated - extremely weak. They've even tried the feeding tube - can't tolerate that either - that brown crap comes right back up.

I've lost entirely too much weight - over 100 pounds. I truly didn't need to lose that much weight. They've run every test they can think of. They have run scans on pretty much every inch of my body. They thought it could be my diabetic gastro paresis, but that part of my stomach is gone.

Has anyone had any symptoms similar - or spells of throwing up - unable to keep anything down? I'm looking for suggestions on possible foods and liquids that I may be able to keep down.

Tracy, I am so sorry you are so sick. Sending prayers your way that the doctors can figure out what is causing this and that there is an easy solution for you. Feel better and update us when you can.

I am so sorry to hear that you are having these problems. I can't imagine what it could be, when you can't even keep the feeding tube liquids down. I really hope they figure it out and you feel better soon.

Tracy, praying for you and sending virtual hugs. Has your primary care physician suggested specialists for you to see? I’m hoping that you feel better soon.

Thank you all for the kind words, thoughts and prayers. They finally figured it out. They found 4 hernias and my gallbladder needs to be removed. They're planning surgery in the next couple of days.

 

[3momchaos]

I’m SO happy they figured it out! I hope the surgery provides relief and you start feeling better really soon!!

 

[JudyNY]

Wow, so happy for you Tracy that you have answers! I wish you all the best with the surgery and that you have a speedy recovery.

 

[Roni]

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Just remember after gall bladder surgery don’t lift stuff. Follow dr orders.

 

[Meg]

Oh wow! So glad to hear they finally figured it out. You’ll be on the road to a full recovery soon!

Prayers for you! I’m so sorry your going through this. I hope your recovery is speedy!

 

[missyinacage]

Yikes! I'm happy they have figured it out. Good luck on your surgery. Are they repairing the hernias at the same time they take out your gallbladder? I hope they can do it all at once. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

 

[mmitti]

OMG. I'm glad they figured it out.

Tracy OMG I’m so glad you have a diagnosis- I can’t imagine how much the last month has sucked. Wishing you a fast recovery once this is corrected.
