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

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
