Stomach Bug since surgery?

I had my surgery in September 2013 and I work for a school system and have 3 kids. I have been around a lot of stomach bugs lately and last winter after surgery at work and in my own house. While everyone else in the house caught it and spent the 24 hours vomiting etc in the last 2 weeks I did not. I did however feel crampy and generally icky. I am wondering if that is now the symptoms of a stomach bug for me or if I have just by some miracle maybe all the Vitamins I take now managed to not catch the bug the last 2 years. I am still catching all the normal icky colds. But was just wondering if other people have experienced something similar at this point?

Hi,

I got sleeved Oct 2012 - and I too have been around many bugs , including colds and flu and haven't caught anything - I did have a bit of the runs a couple weeks ago but I think that was because I'd overdone the laxitives as I was the other way. I put it down to all the Vitamins and supplements too...

Seriously though. I have vomited almost immediately 5 times. 1 too many spoons full. It was the same coming up as going down. It was not the bug. I have no advice. Just color commentary.

Well, I was sleeved September 2014 and I've already had 2 bouts of sickness. I had the flu during Thanksgiving and a stomach virus last week. Both liked to kill me. I've always been a person who hardly ever gets sick. I don't know what's going on but I'm ready for the sickness to be over!

The cooties have taken up residence in my home. We had Swine Flu visiting with us for Thanksgiving, which kindly traded places with the colds everyone had before the holiday. The germs are ridiculous this year. I really would like to spray everyone in the face with Lysol, but I really don't want to go to jail.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
