So I am 6 weeks post op. Tonight is the first time I feel like I want to puke. (Since the first 2 days after surgery that is) I think I ate a few more bites than I should have. It has been more than 2 hours since I ate and I still feel crappy. I almost want to make myself vomit so I feel better. How long is this feeling going to last? I am also worried that I won't be able to get in all my fluids tonight. Still have 32 ounces to drink.

I did the same thing like 3 weeks after surgery, I walked around for like a half an hour, and everything worked itself out. I hope you feel better.

I've done it to, 2 or 3 times. Definitely not a good feeling. It will pass eventually.

I'm 9 mths out and I still overeat occasionally. Wish it were that easy to vomit as it used to be when I was lapbanded. It's a drawn out, painful process that doesn't give much results so I don't really advise it.

My problem is that I eat way too fast, making it take longer for my tummy to register itself as full, making me eat too much. Don't get me wrong. By "too much" I mean 12 bites instead of 10, or 3 oz instead of 2. Still not much but enuf to cause pain.

Ur only 6 weeks out. Still a baby. still learning what ur sleeve tolerates and what it doesn't. How much it can take - and how much it can't. It may take a while. We all wouldn't be here if we didn't have food issues in the first place. Army basic training taught me to eat way too fast. If u didn't eat in 5 mins, u didn't eat. Never relearned eating slowly till being sleeved (after 3 1/2 yrs of eating fast with my band and frequent vomiting).

Ull be fine. I wouldn't push even the liquids tonite, as long as ur feeling nauseous. It may just make it inevitable to actually throw up. And while I don't think u can damage a 6 week old sleeve by vomiting (not like the lapband), it's not advisable to vomit.

Good luck to u.

      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?
