I've read a lot on here about people throwing up and I'm curious because when I initially met with my surgeon and we were discussing sleeve vs lap band he said there wasn't throwing up with the sleeve? So what causes it? Is it a pretty normal occurrence? Thanks for any clarification- not trying to be gross

I'm 7 weeks post op and have never thrown up or been nauseous, not even in the hospital.

I'm almost 6 months post-op and I've never thrown up (due to the sleeve) however I can say when I had the stomach flu throwing up was totally different now vs. pre-op!

I threw up a lot right after surgery and I was throwing up blood! You couldn't have told me I wasn't going to die. Every time I moved, barf! They switched my pain meds and I stopped! Did leak test the following day and all was good. No puking since then. I'm only 8 days post-op so no telling what the future holds.

In my case, I am vomit farely regularly. Had stricture and needed dilation and will have another next week. Sometimes it happens when you stomach is too small or their is scar tissue that narrows the stomach/esophogus or pyloris(in my case).

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
