I am almost 11 weeks post op and still can't keep much down.



Recommended Posts

RNY on the 8th of January. Went back in the 10th of February. Twisted bowel my stomach was hung up on a staple and squeezing my pancreas and took out my gallbladder. Now I am on IV fluids and no one knows what to do. I vomit up most things. Can't take pills. I feel like they are just waiting for me to die.

@AmyH62.I am so sorry! Don't be discouraged. I am sure things seem insurmountable now, but they will improve. Keep your chin up and try to only read things here that are positive and uplifting. There are surely other people who have struggled like you are and they overcame. You will too! I will send up a prayer for you. :)

I had the sleeve 5 years ago and due to acid reflux and my esophagus was collapsing I had to have a revision to the bypass 14 months ago . I'm a 105lbs now and want to stop losing. I have been having issues since I had the revision. I just had a pick line in that I gained 20lbs and 3 weeks later it was gone. At first it was diarrhea and now its vomiting. I seemed to can't get a break. I felt great with the pick line in but that is dangerous walking around with a IV in your arm feeding you dripping over your heart. I just has another EDG on Monday and they found nothing again. I had to spend another $300 for that. I am trying to stay positive but this is getting very hard and expensive. Need someone to talk to.

I wish I had seen this sooner. Sounds like my life. I'm doing better now. Hopefully getting my g-tube out soon. How are you doing?

How were they able to tell you esophagus was damaged ?? Did the prescribe you reflux meds ?? Just curious I think I might be going through the same thing

      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.
