Sleeved and can't stop vomiting



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I was sleeved on Wed. January 30th and I don't have much pain, just itchiness on the incision sites, but I am vomiting every 2-3 hours. Its mainly bile. Is this normal and how much longer will this go on? I tried sipping Water but I can't hold it down.

I was sleeved on the 28th and the only dry heaving I had was minimal and from anesthesia. That does not sound normal to me at all. I have been drinking Water non stop since I passed my leak test with no issues. I believe you should call your doctor immediately. With that being said, do you think maybe it might be from the remnants of the anesthesia?

I didn't have vomiting right after the surgery. I do remember feeling nauseous but zofran always helped.

You most definitely need to call your Dr.

I imagine you will become dehydrated soon so you should plan a trip to the office to get a bag of fluids, at the very least.

Good luck!!

I don't know how normal it is. I didn't have any nausea or vomiting after surgery. If you're vomiting every couple of hours, you should be calling them ASAP.

Thanks, I believe I have it under control now. Just trying to push down some liquids and walking more.

I was so sick to my stomach after surgery it was crazy! But when I stopped the pain meds it all went away. I can't do narcotic pain meds - hope I don't ever REALLY need them!

I vomited so much I thought I was dying! Seriously considered begging my surgeon to put my stomach back. :) But after the 4th day I felt like a new woman.

I vomited for hours and hours after surgery. Your stomach and esophagus are still really swollen so I would not be too alarmed. I would call your surgeon and check with them. Do your best to keep as much Water down as you can and just do what you can. Keep an eye on your hydration levels and call your doctor ASAP.

I had 48 hours of dry heaving that did not begin until about 18 hours of surgery. It began when they took away the pain pump and gave me lortab. It sucked! I would call the doc and get an anti nausea med. good luck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
