Ugh, so sorry to hear this. Did your dr. Give you antacid meds? Call your surgeon. Also be really mindful of taking baby swallows of everything. So sorry - sending healing thoughts your way

I had the same problem.. I threw up (dry heaved) for the first 24 hours straight. I wanted to throw up so bad but there was just nothing to throw up. So they didn't even let me have ice chips until 24 hours after the surgery and man did I savor those chips once I had them! My Dr. put me on an antacid on day two (after the surgery) and I am to stay on it for a month. I still get acid reflux in between my doses and it is miserable but it is getting better (I am 2 weeks post op)

After you can start keeping things down start taking an antacid and it will help

Thanks for everyone's help. My dr put me on Pepcid and it's much better now. I pray everyone else has success with their surgeries!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
