Gastric sleeve , I'm so sick



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve on 3-19-15 . the second I was out of the hospital I was super sick. I try to keep Fluid down as well as most of my Protein Shakes . the nausea and vomiting come at random times, and every day. I just was hospitalized for being so sick and was released yesterday but again today I am so sick! It has been a lot to handle and scary. The good thing is I have no leaks but this sickness I feel is just to much! Anyone else experience this? What helped? What did you do? Please any advice or info would help greatly! Thank you.

Do you now have a prescription for a nausea medication? Rest would be good.

Are they giving you anything for it? What about PPI's or H2's?

Yeah I have tried the Patches, zofran, and phangren (s/p?) Nothing seems to stay down long enough to work or it just doesn't work. I'm hoping that soon it will go away, this being sick thing is really exhausting

I had my surgery on 3/18/15 I find if I eat too much or too fast I end up with dumping syndrome. I am taking opermazole and ursodal. They help but not if I am doing the above. It is a real challenge to eat slowly and small portions. I'm still pureeing food. I hope you feel better soon.

I had my sleeve 3-19-14. Was fine the first 2 months. Then I started throwing up everything I ate and drank. Was nausous 24/7, slept with a big plastic bowl because I couldn't get to the bathroom fast enough. Oral anti nausea meds did not work. The only thing thit would give me relief was IV anti nausea meds. I was in and out of the hosp/ER. My SURG said there wasn't anything wrong with me. I found out over the phone he was referring me to his partner. It took them 6 weeks to get my records to his office so I could schedule an appt. I begged my primary to order home iv therapy for me.after a week of continuous medicine the vomiting stopped. I throw up once in a blue moon now. The new Dr did an endoscopy and told me I had Bile Reflux. I already had damage to my esophagus and the lining of my stomach. I was put in 3 meds and told I would need gastric bypass with a bowel resection to fix it. I'm not having another surg until I get a second opinion. There is a well respected bariactric surg at Barnes hospital, Dr Eagon who I want to see. He might have a less invasive way to treat this. I have lost 135 pounds, 330 to 195. My cardiologist released me because my leaky valve repaired itself with my west loss. My cardiologist was after me for 2 years to have this done. I'm limited on foods I can eat. I literally spent 8 months living in my bed. I lost a ton of muscle mass and could barely walk. Now I can walk a mile in 15 minutes so I have diff entry gotten better. But I know I have more treatment/surg down the road to correct the issue.

Everytime I eat something I get nausous and I stay nausous until I can start drinking liquids again. I am so nausous now in fact, and it's been 2 hours since I ate Breakfast.< /p>

I am doing better, I have a ercp procedure coming up to hopefully help with my liver and pancreas ,I have been in the hospital 9 times in the last month. Hopefully this is the last step, I'm having trouble with acid reflux now (at least I think that's what it is) so I'm being very careful of things I eat. I have lost a lot of muscle mass to from living in the hospital, I am now trying to regain strength and hopefully return to work soon I've been so sick I haven't been able to work but now that things are looking up I'm going they stay looking up :)

Hoping they*

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
