Help....i Can't Control Vommitting..



Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

So I have been in and out of the hospital since my surgery on 6/5. I can't keep anything down. My doctor says it's saliva. Does anyone have any suggestions so I can keep food down???? Thank you I am feeling very sad at the moment.

I'm very surprised your doctor doesn't want you to come in? Especially if you can't keep anything down. I don't know what to suggest as this doesn't sound right.....I'm guessing you don't have a fill yet (if you did I would suggest getting that removed). Is it nausea? Try some Gravol or ginger tea to help settle your stomach.

Even tiny sips of Water? If not you must see your doc...MANY docs put a couple of ccs in your band during surgery as mine did and yes, I had to have it taken out...if you cannot keep hydrated you need medical help. If you cant eat food, tough it out...you will loosen up.

Yes insist the doctor see you! Some doctors put fill in during the surgery and people need to have them remove the liquid via the port.

There is pretty significant swelling of the stomach after surgery so if your doc did put fill in get him to take it out! Also try really hard to get the barium swallow done good call bonilulu

good luck. Let us know how you are coming along.

I would ask if he primed your band during surgery (added fill). If he did, you may not be able to tolerate. I would have it removed until swelling goes down from surgery.

If you have no fill, and can't keep liquids down, that is a problem. By "food" I am assuming you mean liquids since you are only a few days post op.

I would call your surgeon again. You need to be hydrated!!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
