As of yesterday I am 1 month post op revision from the sleeve to the bypass...... I don't think my body is healing as well as it should be at this point due to me being type 2 diabetic..... I'm having a lot of abdominal pains I'm not sure what's the cause of it but I'm not able to keep food down and I'm pretty much stuck in stage 3 of my diet but for the most part I'm back in stage 1. I've vomited so much lately that I'm afraid to eat anything at first I thought I was eating to fast but that wasn't it, I simply can't eat any food and it's getting harder to get my fluids in now.... I'm really fatigued like all the time and I don't know what to do..... Help ????????????

Hi, I had my by pass May 2015, for 3 months I vomited everything, I was miserable. In Aug. 2015 my surgeon did an Endoscopy and loosened the pouch a little and I've been fine ever since. Might be something to think about. Good Luck!

I'm sorry you're having these issues! Vomiting up most of what you eat is not normal. You may be having trouble healing for multiple reasons... the diabetes can contribute to that but not getting enough calories, Vitamins, and Water can have a really detrimental effect on your healing. Definitely contact your doctor! It is not normal or healthy to be unable to keep your food down.

I feel your pain. I can honestly say I have had three good days since my surgery( March 1). Instead of me progressing to the next stage I am going backwards. I am back to only drinking Protein shakes. No matter what I try to eat I end up feeling like cap. I have gone to the doctor twice and this last time the doctor took a xray while swallowing barium and found out that the tube connected to my pouch is slowly closing. Because of this no matter what I drink or try to eat it gets stuck and slowly goes down then I get sick. UnfortunatelyI have nothing to throw up but lots of saliva. Most of the time I am dry heaving. The doctor will set me up with an out patient procedure to widen the tube.

As your doctor to do a xray. I hope this helps you. Good luck.

The barium swallowing x-ray darnell is speaking of was done on me while still in the hospital before allowing me to go from Clear liquids to just liquids. Took a whole 15 minutes from beginning of test to completion of test.

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

      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
