I had my takedown a year ago 1/11/16.
Ive been fine until last weekend....
I'm experiencing a lot of nausea and bloating. Hardly any bowel movements. I went from 6-7/day to maybe once a day.
Im not in pain anymore, but the nausea is hellacious!!!
Does this sound like a blockage?
Thank you for for any advice

Hello, MelMed83,
Are you able to eat food or drink liquids now? How is your nausea now? About two weeks ago I had the same symptoms, although my nausea was not as severe as yours. I did have very bad cramps -- the first ever since reversal -- but was able to sip liquids throughout the episode. I did not eat. After a day or so the bad cramps faded and it seemed to sort itself out. I believe it was a blockage.
That's good news. This has been going on for a couple of weeks. I feel like I'm starting to get dehydrated, so I'm going to call GI in the morning.
I have been able to pass stuff here and there. I'm still learning my new body...
thank you you so much for reaching out!
If you are able to drink, even small sips, keep it up and stay hydrated. If you pinch the skin on the back of your hand and it stays wrinkly and is slow to flatten out, this a sign you should be drinking more water or fluids. If it bounces back flat, you are keeping hydrated. Dizziness and trembling weakness is a sign of dehydration too.
