My husband was sleeved a little over 8 weeks ago. He did fine for the first 3 weeks. After that he became unable to keep anything down. Even a simple sip of Water makes him vomit. He has stomach pain, a chronic cough, burning in the throat, mouth constantly waters, extreme fatigue, & burping. He is currently in the hospital for the THIRD time for severe dehydration. We are losing hope & not getting many answers. Also he has been taking Zofran for nausea & Prevacid for acid relux. Any advice?? We are desperate!

Please let us know how this progresses. This sounds so unusual that the MDs are the best sources of info. Laura, I did not think of GERD... so DID they do a scope??

Yes the doc did a scope & didn't find anything except a ring on the esophagus from years of chronic acid relux. I also should mention that he had his gall bladder removed last week b/c the doc was sure this was the problem. He is still sick & continues to get worse. He has constant bile that comes up into his mouth & he's so miserable. Can GERD cause excess bile production?

GERD can absolutely cause the symptoms you mentioned. Also having his Gallbladder out causes a host of digestive problems as well!

Saying a prayer for him right now!

Definitely Gerd symptoms...tell them to try prescription Nexium...it is a bit expensive even with insurance but definitely worth it.

Yes he can have bile reflux.... I wonder if they have done a barium swallow? I think if there is bile coming up it would mean the lower sphincter is not closing properly?? Bowel obstruction?

Slow draining stomach (Gastroparesis)??

I don't know I'm just thinking out loud here but I would ask about these things..

Did you read the link I put above?

Oh and have the done a Esophageal motility test?
