A stomach virus or something more sinister?

I was doing pretty well over the weekend. Then Monday night, I began to have diarrhea . By Tuesday, it was pretty severe and I was becoming nauseated. I couldnt drink or eat anything. Needless to say, by wednesday, I was at the local clinic getting two bags of fluids.So, I home now...not so nauseated but havent eaten anything but a bite of something, and although the diarrhea has slowed down, it is still pretty bad...... I feel like there is a lump in my throat, it even makes a sound when I swallow sometimes...( maybe because of dry throat / dehydration??) . But no stomach pain. No fever.

Could this be just a little virus or does it sound more sinister? Of course, if I am no better tomorrow,I plan to see my sleeve doc.  :(  Any theories,comments, stories?

I'm really sorry you're sick! I don't know how far out you are from surgery, but I felt like I had a lump in my throat for quite a few weeks after surgery. It went away on it's own as my stomach healed. I think you have a good plan to call your bariatric office tomorrow if you don't feel better. Hang in there!

it does sound like a virus, but I agree, call your sleeve doc just to be sure.  One thing my mother swears by when there's a stomach/intestinal virus is yogurt...give it a try.  Hope you feel better real soon. 

While I can't say if it's the same for you, but I had a bug in June where I had pretty bad diarrhea for about 3 - 3 1/2 days. I was starting to get worried and I called my PCP's office on a Friday. They didn't' seem to be too concerned and said if it was still happening Monday to come in.... but thankfully it didn't last THAT long. I think planning to call your surgeon's office if it persists is a good idea. Could just be a bug though, I hope that's all it is!

Hang in there!

don't know when you had your surgery but take some imodium and call your surgeon if you had surgery in the last few month or your pcp if it is longer and drink as much as you can maybe pediacure 

sounds like a stomach bug but it is better to check it out

Thanks, everyone! Im two months out, but I do feel better today.. I was imagining all sorts of nightmarish scenerios...
