So i had my surgery on december 3rd and have been very sick since. Ive had 3 upper endoscopys and 2 cat scans and numerous other tests. They dialated me at each endoacopy and this last one finally said they dont think its this causing me to be so sick. Im neasous 24/7 i dry heave all the time. I force myself to drink Water after having to have so many ivs for being dehydrated. Most of it come right back up but at least some stays dowb... Eating just forget it. It makes me so sick and also comes back up. Im at a loss! I dont know what to do anymore?! Im in pain everyday! I cry just thinkong about it. I cant take it anymore :( has anyone else wxperienced this before? Please help me!!

My surgery was 1/29/13 so I'm not an expert on any of this stuff. I would treat this like any other surgery that was causing problems,get a second opinion. Sometimes a fresh look can really help.

goodness I hate that you are going through all this. What is your doctor saying is the issue then. Is he giving you any hope?

      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.

      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.
