Unhappy Still sick at 3 months out...help!

I hope someone can help me. I am so tired of being sick. I have been on so many anti-nausea meds, and none have helped. I have had 3 EGD's, and a CT Scan, and they find no source to my problems. I have had to go into the hospital 4 times for fluids because of dehydration. I even throw up water. Everything seems to come back up. Has anyone had this problem? Any advice? I am just so thirsty, but when I drink it comes back. My Doc is on vacation and the nurse basically told me to wait it out until he comes back and if I feel I am dehydrated, go to the ER. Help! Please!! Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Donna - I haven't had this problem. I do know that my pouch can't tolerate plain water. Does it help to try some flavored water? Can you suck on ice cubes or popsicles?
You definately need to press the doctors to find out what is going on. Are you working with the dr that did your surgery?
I wish I had some more supportive or helpful information to give. You must feel awful.

Like Veronica, my pouch doesn't like plain water either. Try sugar free popsicles or propel, sip constantly...dehydration is the WORST! Anybody who's been THERE doesn't want to ever go back! Take care...
