I have been super excited about getting my sleeve. But seems like all I've seen today is people with nonstop nausea and throwing up foam?? In complete misery. I am research a lot and know that this is a given, I mean 85% of the stomach is coming out. Just non I'm getting really spooked and rethinking this

Maybe they aren't eating the way they are suppose to be and that's why they're getting sick..

My surgery date is next month. I enjoy reading people's success and misery throughout this process. It helps me be mentally prepared. I'm really good at handling "pain". I'm mentally excited & prepared to take the "pain" since I'll be losing weight, finally!! This is my only option. You have to do what you feel is right in your heart.

Height 5'0"

Weight for consultation: 216 lbs.

Pre-op Weight: Unknown until January 20th.

Almost 3 years out and haven't thrown up once since surgery. You're only going to see bad stuff on forums. I've had no issues at all.

I kinda thought the same thing with all the horror stories the last few days. I have 6 more days to go. . I realized through the worst experience of my life when we were told our 18 yr old senior ( very last day of his senior year)(only 8 months ago yesterday) that he may have cancer and was taken 60 miles away to an oncology dept for 6 LONG days that PRAISE GOD ABOVE he did NOT have cancer!! we still do cat scans blood tests etc but he endured a million tests and highs and lows without showing me or his daddy any fear. If he can do that at 18 then I can do this and handle a little nausea and vomiting. Just gotta toot my baby boys horn. He is a real trooper!!!! Good luck to us all.

P.s. he was admitted back there 3 times for vomiting which was all dehydration related. Good reason for us to drink drink drink through the nausea.

I pray all is well with your son! I also had a near death experience with my daughter and if we got thru that then I can get thru this, expecially with a new and healthier me to look forward to!

My surgery was on Tuesday, and I had second thoughts, even as they were rolling me back to the OR. I kept worrying about all of the possible bad outcomes. I am not far enough out to say that everything is great and it is the best decision of my life yet, but I can say that I have had no complications at all. Even last night, I was thinking, "what the hell did I do to myself?" I have had lots of gas pains mostly, and a lot of discomfort. That being said, I was doing so well that they sent me home a day earlier than was expected. Just remember that when people are posting bad experiences it is typically because they are in that less than 2% complication group of people who experience complications. The other 98% are not having any issues at all, so they are not writing in this forum asking what they should do because everything is going well. The one thing I can say about reading all of those posts about things going wrong is that I was prepared for just about anything. Had I not done the research I did pre-op, I think my recovery would have been much tougher. At least I knew what to expect, which made it easier to deal with what I was feeling each step of the recovery so far.

Thanks for posting this. We tend to look at the negative. It has eased my mind.

I am 5 weeks post op, sleeve - I only threw up once and that was the day after surgery. I've never experienced "foams", I don't get heartburn, and I can gulp Water (even plain water). No issues other than the soreness and discomfort that is part of the healing process. I even returned to work 7 days post op because I felt fine. Everyone's experience is different, but not all are experiences are bad. Hope this helps!

      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.
