Hi was sleeved on Thursday. I am still in the hospital. I can't keep anything down. Terrible swelling and heartburn . Anyone else have this? How long did it last? Any suggestions? Please.

I was sleeved on Dec 9th. I could not stop vomiting everything they gave me. Three days later they diagnosed me with a twisted stomach. Have they done a barium scan on you yet to check?! I had 2 more surgeries to correct and was in the hospital 6 days. Once they put a stent in I never vomited again!

Yes, I had the same problem. I was in the hospital for 4 days. Nothing would go down or stay down, including Water. The opening to my stomach had swolen shut. Finally opened enough to take fluids so they let me go home. I had a very long and difficult recovery

. There is good and bad to my story. I am almost 2 years post op but I am at my goal weight. Hasent been an easy process. I have chronic diarrhea, which two different Dr's can not fix. I did not know that this problem was possible with the sleeve.

You need to call your surgeon. Did they do a scan and check that you do not have any leaks or twists etc? You should never have been sent home if you could not keep anything down! That makes me furious!!! I wish you a speedy recovery but please call and get assistance!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
