So I have had a stomach bug going on six days. I am a couple days short of two months out. I have had nausea and diarrhea with the occasional vomiting. Also, really bad Migraines but no fever at all. I did call my doctor and he said it definitely sounds like a virus not something concerning the surgery and I am feeling a lot better today but through this whole thing I just haven't been able to get more than 2 bites of solid food without vomiting. Now the diarrhea has gone and the nausea as well except for when I eat anything solid I get very nauseas and vomit or want to vomit for like an hour if I manage not to and this is with like one or two bites of food. I guess my question is did anyone else happen to get a bad stomach virus after anytime after surgery and what was our experience? Also, I have gone back to a liquid diet, not so much by choice, but because I just can not stand even the thought of putting solid food in my mouth makes me want to hurl. How long do you guys think this will last? I would really love to eat again. Plus, I feel terrible as I haven't been doing anything right. No Vitamins as they make me want to wretch, hardly any Protein, limited fluids.

yes!! i've been like this on and off for 2 weeks, diarrhea, vomit and stomach pain. Haven't had any fever and haven't had headaches. Went to my doctor, he said it was a stomach infection, but it could also be a virus. He gave me some medicine, still taking it.

I hope both of you feel better soon. I work in the medical field and of coarse right now the most important thing is fluids and staying away from dehydration. I am sure your stomach needs some time to adjust and feel better from the virus or infection.

Feel better soon...

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
