Call your doctor! I have strep throat and a sinus infection my doctor told me take anything I want to if it's not gone in a few days "4" go to a urgent care or make an appointment with my pcp.

My doctor said that throwing up is NEVER normal after the sleeve... He said if you feel sick to call the office and get a Rx called in for you. NOT fun. Good luck!!

If your doctor said you have the stomach flu, he should also tell you what to eat or drink. Try broth and gatorade. Add your Protein if you can tolerate. I have colitis and I had surgery 4 days ago. My problem isn't it coming out the top end, just the bottom (sorry).

I am going to try rice milk next as dairy makes the problem worse. I can mix bananas into the Protein so that helps. As do the HUGE antiobiotic pills that i have to cut up into 8s to get down. Hang in there

Thanks. I haven't called or seen a dr. For this as it just started this.morning. My husband.had it a couple of days ago.

I'm not throwing up just stomach cramps, diarrhea (sorry tim) light headache and lightheaded.

I had some crackers earlier but went right thru.

I'm drinking some crystal light.

      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.
