On August 14th my wife had the gastric sleeve surgery. 2 months later she has lost 60 pounds however for the first 5-6 weeks after her surgery she couldn't keep down any food or liquids and had to go back to the emergency room about twice a week for IV fluids to keep her hydrated. The surgeon said for the first few weeks that it was normal. Then a week later scheduled a dilatation to stretch her stomach. The procedure was done and then things got much worse. She was violently vomiting even when she wasn't eating or drinking. She went back to the ER and they just gave her fluids again and sent her home. They did this for another 2 1/2 weeks until she went to see her surgeon again and this time they gave her a prescription for nausea patches and a suppository which helped for a while but only a short while. She is still using the nausea meds and able to keep a very small amount of liquids down but now she is having shaking sensations and losing her hair and is unable to keep her vitamins and other meds down. Her doctor will not do anything else to help her and keeps telling her to give it time but this is really effecting her whole life. She had her surgery done at University of Virginia. There really isn't any other places around that will see her that accepts her insurance. I was wondering if anyone had any advice.

At first they did not do the swallow test, in face they let her go the next day which was not standard procedure. Then when she came back to the ER they did it. They have done xrays too as well as blood work and said everything looks fine. Should we seek legal advice?

Yeah and the surgeon's head nurse is telling her that her extreme vomiting is normal. They have jerked her around so much and I am sick of it.
