I had my Sleeve done four years ago. I still get sick if I eat too fast or something not good for me. I don't usually throw up any food mostly the slime or more like releasing a large burp but it is not a burp, my stomach clinches like I am Throwing up. (I know TMI)

I know the obvious answer would be to just eat slower and better selections. I guess I am wondering if this is normal so far out of surgery. This does not happen all the time, sometimes I go a month or so without getting sick and then like now it is an everyday occurrence. I had a scope a few months ago to see if there was a blockage that is causing this but they said it was all clear.

Please any advise would help, or is this just normal? I have lost 130 lbs from my surgery weight.

Thanks

David

Congrats on your successful journey.

I am five years out and I still have restriction---still "slime"--still "dump" and still "hit the wall".

I also still have no appetite.

I consider it all means that my sleeve is alive and well. I've learned to listen to it, follow its lead and give thanks everyday.

Thanks for your comments, I have felt the same way that I am glad my sleeve is still working. I guess I was wondering if most people have this problem or if the symptoms reduce over time. My sister had the sleeve and has never been sick but I guess everyone is different. Honestly, I may not have lost as much weight if I was not getting the slimes.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
