So on Friday I will be 3 weeks out from having my vsg. I spent way too much time in the sun the other day, got a bad sun burn. I wake up this morning to having to throw up, and I did. now I am worried that I maybe hurt my sleeve from throwing up. Idk if that is possible but i am just worried. I don't even feel like eating today, cause I'm worried i'm just going to throw that up.

any advice? is me throwing up going to hurt my sleeve?

If you are feeling a lot of pain and even if you are just unsure I would call your surgeon. It never hurts to touch base. They will know what the normal range is and what signs you should watch for... Hope you feel better today.

I'd call him just in case but I was sick in hospital due to an adverse drug reaction, It wasn't pleasant but he didn't seem unduly worried about my sleeve.

Make sure if you are going in the sun that you put sunblock on your scars and cover them up as well to minimise long term scarring.

I spent my first five days after surgery in the hospital with constant vomiting (from morphine, it turns out). I was worried when I started vomiting (blood) as soon as I left the recovery room- but I was fine, and nothing bad happened to my sleeve.

If your doc is worried about it he can call in something for nausea too.

I have a pill that goes under the mouth to control nausea.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
