My husband had gastric sleeve on Feb. 16th, at first he was fine when he ate and did not get sick at all. Six weeks after surgery he began to get sick everytime he ate.He still does, even if it is just a small protien shake, or a sip of Water he gets sick. The Dr says it is inflammation, put him on several medications, and that has not helped. One other patient has had this same thing, and spoke to my dh after the Dr asked if she would talk to him, and said if she eats Doritos a small amount they settle her stomach, so dh has tried this and it works, but to me this is terribly wrong and he will never loose all his weight. He has lost 90 lbs so far and has another about 60 to go. But with doritos he will never get there. Any suggestions? Anyone else had this complication. I am totally frustrated and he is more than this!! It makes for a not very pleasant life when he gets sick each time he tries to eat.

Thank you so much, I will tell him and we will see what his surgeon says, he has an appointment a week from this coming Monday. It's worth a try!! Thanks, Tina

Thank you so much! We will pick some up tomorrow. Hopefully it will help....

Thanks, and he has an amazing Dr. Kelly, we have the best surgeon available in a several state region and a certified hospital for the gastric sleeve. We did our homework and found the best Dr., with the best credentials and the top recommendations. The Dr has been proactive, but we must all remember they are human just like we are. He is still loosing weight, and is careful to stop when he feels the least bit full. Soup is the best for him and he loves soup, so that is good. One other patient has this problem and they cannot figure it out either. The scope shows inflammation, and he is on medication for it. Time, maybe. Thanks For the Response.

They did a scope, so the Dr has been very proactive in this. They found inflammation and actually have the pictures that show it. He gave him meds to heal it but to this point it is not working. Saltines don't do the trick, he tried that too, the weirdest thing is the Doritos, and he is not at all thrilled with having to do that. Such a mystery.
