My friend had VSG 24 days ago, and she's in a terrible state. She has yet to hold down the smallest amount of liquid. All is vomited. food is out of the question. Dr says sleeve is not too tight. He cannot figure out why she can't hold down any liquid since he sees that all with her sleeve surgery is okay. Suspecting an infection, he will do a biopsy on the stomach tissue. Meanwhile, my once very strong, assertive, lively friend is wasting away barely able speak. She's lost 50lbs within 24 days and is always thirsty and is very, very weak. Sent home after 2 weeks in the hospital, she goes to the ER to get IV liquid and nutrients since she's had no success in drinking anything while at home. I'm very concerned. Anyone else experience/observe this and what were the results? Any suggestions? All prayers of concern are welcome.

Thanks so much for your comments. I will post an update as soon as I get one.

My friend is suffering currently, 24 days post op and has not been able to keep any liquids down. It is not a stricture problem. MD will do biopsy on stomach tissue, suspecting infection. She's very, very weak and dehydrated. I am concerned. It's been over a year now for you, liciawms. What happened in your case? All prayers of concern are welcome.
