I had duodenal switch surgery on Oct 24 I'm 4 weeks post op.. having major issues and complications still working with drs and imaging to see what's wrong with me. I can barely eat or have desire to because all the nausea and smells... can't keep much of anything down. Oatmeal jello tea water are the main things that seem ok for me. My lactose intolerance is much worse than before surgery so that's a problem. I feel like I'm dying at times.. I got my period couple days ago and last night was in dying agony and pain throwing up every hour could barely sleep it was terrible. I've been to multiple drs and er no one that helpful. I take antiacids twice a day and nausea meds three times a day... waiting on an authorization for an upper gi series imaging it has taken two weeks with appts from one doc to another... I regret this surgery and I've lost 40lbs in one month started at 330 it's terrible!!!!

Hi thanks for asking getting better slowly but surely.. using the skim milk plus and gasx just dealing with alot of gas/acid which sometimes makes me sick.. I've added a couple things I can eat so over all I'm on the right track.. thank you so much for asking

Peppermint tea with splenda on ice is my best friend

Test this morning was normal. Radiologist said another bariatric pt had the same issues as me and test was normal.. frustrating.. Now what?

Thank you. Good news I fought all day today on the phone and I'm getting my imaging Tom morning so the prayers are working!! I saw my nurse practitioner tonight and with all the burping and vomiting and nausea she's concerned about my gallbladder.... either way it's in over drive since I lost 40lbs in one month... we will see how it goes with the test Tom I will post again when I know more!!

No luck thanksgiving week no test until next Tuesday I'm going to die ugh

It's not looking good they want me to wait until next Tuesday and it's a stat request I've been back and forth for two weeks already and barely made it through the weekend without going to the er again. I called my friend at my primary doctor office and she's going to try to help I'm waiting to hear back trying to Just keep it together....

That's very encouraging to hear... when you feel like this for weeks you think it's forever.... lol hope to share good news soon

Thanks everyone I will try that milk in the future right now I'm so limited on what my body will let me eat.... my health problems before we're pcos.. high blood pressure vit d deficiency and insulin resistance... I can't wait until Tom I'm going to push for my imaging asap.. I'm hoping my regret will fade away but at this point I can't believe I did this to myself.... I'm trying to stay positive thanks for the encouragement has anyone else had this issue?

Thank you so much
