Hello everyone!....I don't post much but I do try to keep up with posts when I can. I have an issue that's really starting to wear on my nerves and I was looking for some friendly input from fellow bypass patients. Here's whats going on....I feel sick to my stomach...alot....Dr found gallstones so in March had my gallbladder removed and her also ran scope down to look at my pouch and make sure there were no ulcers. All was good there..... Ok, thought I was finally gonna feel better. No....still happening. Last night, I was already in bed and it hit me all of a sudden. Stomach hurting, cold sweat all the same things as before and the only thing I can seem to throw up is clear foamy looking stuff...That happened twice last night. Was up till 2 this morning. Finally took a phenergen and got some sleep.Has anyone else had this happen before or does anyone have any idea what is causing this? I go back to Dr tomorrow but was hoping for some veteran input from you guys as well. I' tired of feeling sick all the time!!!! HELP!!!

So sorry you're going through this. I've never experienced anything like it. Hopefully your doctor can get to the root of your problem and you can find some peace. Praying for your wellness!

Thanks!.....Dr seems to think it is combo of adjusting to no gallbladder and possibly dumping. She also seems to think that if I let my pouch get empty, sometimes it can make you feel nauseated. Only problem I have with all this is that regardless of what I do, I still feel sick. Watch what I eat, try to make sure I eat at regular intervals, everything. I guess its just gonna take a while from the gallbladder surgery for body to adjust. Thats what I'm going to rely on anyway!

The video my surgeon made me watch said that happens to 5% of patients, that it it's something to do with scar tissue at the opening of the pouch. It also said drinking a little warm liquid like tea 30 minutes before a mean and before bedtime helps to prevent it.

shouldn't hurt to try? Good luck. Hope it helps

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
