disturbing symptoms 5 month out



Recommended Posts

-sleeved 7-24-12 (survived serious complications) and now experiencing some GI problems. regardless of what i eat, how i eat,etc.....after my first bite of food and sometimes liquids, i get nauseaus, sweaty and experience and increase in my heart rate. i have reverted to "urping" and vomiting daily. no diarrhea. i will contact my health care providers. my weight has stayed the same for almost 3 weeks. i am 5-5, started at 205.5 and down to 164. The remainder of my weight is all in my belly. no more feeding tube. the TPN and formula (6 weeks at home) was so calorically dense i feel i am a bit behind my goals. more importantly, i am not getting the proper nutrition due to the nausea. it sounds like dumping syndrome but i feel i do not create the triggers. i am a nurse. had a great home health nurse and NUT after coming home from my hospital. i know what/how to eat-drink, ect. i do feel rather poor. no fever. ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE THIS???????????????? thank you for any feedback.

I read that wrong so I'm editing. Do you think perhaps it's a twisted stomach? There is another gal currently in the hospital for that same issue who posts on here. Her stomach has turned into a J shape and she was experiencing similar symptoms.

      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.
