I am a little over 7 months and I would say I have vomited twice. All of the times were in the beginning when I was introducing foods back into the lineup.

I sometimes feel maybe a little sick to my stomach if I EAT TO MUCH OR TO FAST NOW, but have not thrown up since the first month. I definitely know my full signal and try not to cross it.

Good luck.

In the first 72 hours post-op, I vomited a lot and it hurt and it sucked. But that is not normal -- I actually got sick from the anti-nausea meds. And since then, I have not vomited at all. The key thing is, really, know your full signal and stick to it. Don't go past it, ever. I did that once, and it felt pretty yukky (but not like nauseated, more like pain and a backing-up feeling). I know a lot of VSGers have taste/smell changes and that those can make them sick -- but I have had none of that. Things I liked before, I still like; things I didn't like, I still don't. And nothing smells different or extra-bad to me. The only thing I've noticed, actually, is that now I can totally tolerate eggs and they used to make me sick to my stomach.

And my husband pointed out recently that I am less sick/less stomach problems now than I had pre-surgery. He's totally right. My stomach does feel a lot better as a sleeve. :D

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
