I was sleeved yesterday 2/16 woke up with horrible nauseous & very dizzy & gas pains but unable to walk . This morning I'm doing much better went on about 4 small walks on hospital floor. I was given broth & Jello I can eat it just fine but then I get a bellyache after eating ?? Is this Normal or is it gas ?

Might be a bit of both. My stomach was really swollen the first two days and everything seemed to want to sit on top. Honestly I can't imagine trying to have Jello that soon after surgery. Getting my Water and Protein Drink mixes was hard enough. I had a hard time with gas and couldn't get any out despite walking. I'd get a few small burps here and there but never seemed to be enough.

Hope you have a speedy recovery! The first few days are tough but don't worry, it does get better!

I just got sleeved Wednesday the 15th, and I still have terrible gas, in my chest and back. I've been walking, but I still have it. Hopefully this upcoming week will be better. Stay motivated!

I was sleeved on 1/18. I had a lot of nausea and some of the other symptoms you described as well. For gas, I took Gas X strips which I ordered from Amazon, but try the drugstore. When my stomach would get upset or I'd feel discomfort I'd sip slower. If it become excessive please reach out to your doc :) Remember, it does take time for the anesthesia and such to work it's way out your system, plus your "new" tummy is readjusting to every thing that's gone on. Wishing you a speedy recovery & the best of luck!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
