Not sure what you mean by "Spiraling issue" Is this more nausea and upset stomach. It could be acid and you might want to speak to your doctor about medication for this before you are discharged or if you are already out call him.

I had my surgery on Monday and a friend of mine had hers on Monday as well. We were both in the same hospital room together and we threw up the first 2 days A LOT and especially after being given the liquid pain meds. It passes. What she and I ended up having to do is switching from the hydrocodone to Tylenol 3. By the time I left the hospital on Wednesday, I only threw up 2 more times and that was it. I didnt even need to use the pain meds once I was home to be honest. I hope you start feeling better soon. Hang in there. The nausea passes.

I'm in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Pretty close to Anna, IL. If you don't mind me asking, where did you have your surgery and who was your surgeon??

I hope you feel better soon. I've not had my surgery as of yet so I was just curious who your surgeon was and how the surgery went?

I had my sleeve done on the 3rd of april and I have had nausea, too. I found that sipping warm broth was better than drinking cold or room temperature drinks. I am 3 days post op and doing better. My fear is that I won't get enough liquids and Protein. I was told that if you dehydrate, that makes you more nauseated, so it is a downward cycle. the hardest part for me is taking my medications in crushed form, suspended in liquid....seems to not sit well on my stomach.

When I say spiraling I mean that my stomach is kind of twisted. I had Dr Sudakarahan at the New Life Weight loss center in Herrin. He was great! He checked up on my all of the time and made sure that the nurses were on top of things!

*literally* twisted? or just feeling nauseous? Nausea is going to stick with you for a while... I'm two months out and still feel nauseousness once every day or two... I've read it doesn't COMPLETELY go away until like 6 months out or so.

During my leak test they saw something so my doctor did an endoscopy and that's when de discovered the spiraling.

      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. 🤞
