My brother had the sleeve surgery on May 4th, followed by uncontrollable vomiting. An ER visit found gallstones and he had his gallbladder removed at 2 weeks post-op. Vomiting remained and still remains after 4 ER visits (blood work, endoscopy, upper GI test, CT scan - stomach lining is inflamed and his pancreatic enzymes are high). No one seems to be able to help him. 6 weeks ago when he had surgery he was 320 lbs. He is at 250 lbs now and losing muscle mass. Losing 70 pounds in 6 weeks and being dehydrated/malnourished is really taking a toll on him mentally and physically. No one seems to be able to help him. He goes to the ER to basically keep his body from shutting down. I have seen him cry one time in my life and he called me bawling his eyes out because he is terrified. I don't know what else to do for him. I haven't found helpful information online. He isn't dealing with nausea...he eats or drinks something and just immediately throws up. He sat in an ER waiting room for 4 hours and filled up 2 barf bags and no one did anything. He is in the hospital now with 2 doctors working trying to figure out the problem and he is getting Vitamins through an IV. Doctor said something is wrong with him, they just don't know what it is yet. This is the closest to his situation that I could find and I hope things have gotten better for your daughter! Best of luck to all of you!
