I'm 2 years post surgery and pregnant with my 5th baby. I'm suffering from the WORST case of morning sickness I've ever had. With my previous pregnancies I was able to throw up and carry on with my day. This time I've got that constant car sick feeling all day and all night. I'm 10 weeks pregnant and not sure how much more I can take of this. Not that I really have a choice My Dr has me on 2 diclectin tablets 3 times a day and I feel like they aren't working. They are a slow release but I'm wondering if my stomach is absorbing them too quickly or not quick enough. I'm debating trying acupuncture. Has anyone else had severe morning sickness and what did you do?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and help! I think I've found my cure!! I spoke to my dr about the absorption of these tablets and she gave me the maximum dose 8 pills a day instead of 6. I asked about the Zofran but its not approved for pregnant women in Canada yet she said. So I made my way to the health food store. Ginger Root!!! 1200mg twice a day and I'm getting out of bed and eating again. Finally! I however like the licking off of frito chips and slushies. Will try those too!!

Twice in the past week I have experienced horrid chest pains. The best way to describe it is that it feels like the worst child birth contractions a woman can have. They are in my chest and back and last 20-30 minutes. They are constant and there is nothing that will relive it. Ihad it one other time about 2 months ago. I spoke to my family dr today and she has no clue as to what it is. She suggested that I speak to my surgeon. I called the surgeon in my hometown that did some follow up with me her in Canada after I got back from Mexico. He said, "CALL THE MEXICAN'S"! WTF!!! Who says that? All I want to know is what's wrong with me. I have googled it and have found some information but not alot. I know it's NOT a heart attack and it's not anxiety issues either. My family dr did do blood work last week and my Vitamin B and Folic Acid levels are extremely low and she has me on suppliments to fix that. we are puzzled about the chest pains. Has anyone heard of Dumping Syndrome? Could it be that? I don't know what it is but it hurts really bad and want to figure out what is wrong. I have been taking Prevacid for heartburn and have recently switched to Tecta as the Prevacid is SOOOOO expensive. If there is anyone on here that would help I would greatly appreciate it!! Thank you so very much!

I was a 42H and now I am a 34G. I only went down a cup size so my boobs would still look big! I was so scared that they would shrink up and look like golf balls in a sock. They aren't perky like they once were pre babies but they still look mighty fine in a pretty bra!! May look at getting new boobs once I'm at goal weight!!

My dr tested my blood last week and I am now on Vitamin B12 that is fast absorbing 1000mg a day plus folic acid 5mg a day. She want's to test my blood again in 6 weeks. My levels were very very low. She wants to try this for the 6 weeks and if they aren't up to where she thinks they should be we will be doing Vitamin B injections. Plus I'm taking 3 gummie adult multi vitamins a day. If I had been taking what she told me to take today I likely wouldn't have gobs of hair falling out of my head everyday. I used to have beautiful hair...

I couldn't get any shakes down the first 3 months. I would gag from the smell. Once I could drink them I didn't like the taste of anything I would try until just last month. A friend had me try the Body by Vi shakes. They are AMAZING!!!!!

I went to Mexicalli to a wonderful man named Dr Aceves. My girlfriend refered me to him a year after she had her surgery. I had mine the beginning of July 2011 and am down 75lbs. I didn't qualify here and I did ALOT of research before I had the sleeve done. Another of my friends had her surgery done the end of July. I haven't had any surgery related issues. No leaks!! The surgeon I saw here the month after I got home said, "your new tummy is beautiful"!!! I would trust Dr A with my life, I did! He took my fat tummy and gave me my life!! The hospital I had surgery in was cleaner then most US and Canadian hospitals. You could eat off the floors!! The care I recieved there was amazing!!I have his contact info if you want it!!

I had an endoscope done in late August because I wasn't well when I returned from Mexico, i couldn't even drink fluids and was hospitalized for 2 weeks here. The surgeon here said everything looked beautiful but I had a little hernia on my esophagus that was causing some discomfort, along with acid reflux. I have suffered from acid reflux for the past 3 years. Got really bad during my last pregnancy. I was thinking maybe my acid reflux medication isn't doing what it should. It's just frusterating when the dr's here don't want to help figure it out. Going to the er during a episode would be impossible unless I call 911. I can't get off the floor when it happens. Its just so weird and frusterating. Just trying to figure it out so it stops. I will google the esophageal spasms. Thanks!!

I find if I eat too fast or if I eat too much I will throw up a bit. I believe it's called skimming. It's not really throwing up what I do. The food hasn't made it to my tiny tummy yet and up it comes. I have had to learn to eat VERY VERY slowly. It's hard to do that. Also I find that if I eat anything with oil or grease up it comes. It won't stay down at all. If I eat solids then drink right after that will bring it all back up too. I was worried I was going to be an forever vomitter but its less and less now. Just happens when I eat too fast now.
