Stomach bug 5 months after nissen!!!

Ouch did not realise how much pain would be in. Somehow picked up a 24 hour stomach bug and even after taking anti-sickness tablets nothing was going to stop me being sick. The pain was horrible and I ache all over now with the effort of it all. In space of 3 days have lost yet another 3 pounds in weight (18lbs in total and not overweight to begin with!!) and appetite seems to be back where it was just after op in March 2012 which is very frustrating

Not a happy bunny as was starting to feel really good, do just hope this passes really quickly

Hi Denise
Thank you for your reply. Not so easy here in the UK to question the type of medication given and get it changed. I don't know where it came from I was fine except for feeling bit spaced out but put that down to beta blockers am on to help with over active thyroid. Then all of a sudden the pains and nausea started. Thought it might be hunger as had been in meeting and not eaten at normal time but had to give in an drive almost an hour home with the dry heaves! Couldn't take medication before driving as it says they cause drowsiness!

I truly hope I don't get this any time soon as feel as though am almost back at start of recovery again. No appetite, no energy and aching muscles from the heaving.

This forum has been so helpful before, during and after recovery and although don't post very often I do read all the time.
Regards
Eileen
