If it keeps up I would ask your DR to do a ENDOSCOPE, you might just have a Strictures. Easy fix they dialate it during your ENDOSCOPE with a balloon. They said it is kind of like scar tissue and it makes it hard to eat and keep it down. Just a thought. Good Luck

It is actually very common to throw up a lot. your body is adjusting. i had my surgery done at the number bariatric facility in the nation. i had excellent care and support. i have had follow up exams and ct scans and everything is right as rain. i have close to fifty friends who have done this with all different doctors and states and they all went through the throwing up stages. sometimes spices or stuff you used to eat that you can eat will still upset your stomach. it even says when you start introducing new foods that if it makes you sick try again later on. I have done extensive research and had a ton of prep classes.

My surgeon teaches that vomiting is not good, as your stomach or pouch is healing. They don't even want us to have nausea. I have a reglan script that I usually take before dinner, as the end of the day is tougher to get my food in. It immediately helps with all that. I vomited once, in the hospital, few hours after surgery and that's it. Nausea is a different story, I have that frequently, then I take a tiny pill [emoji16]

A gastric sleeve is different from a Divided RNY. A gastric sleeve still maintains the body's normal functions with a different stomach. I've talked to several bariatric specialist and everything I Am doing is all normal. Sometimes you can't feel the fullness in your pouch and you throw up because 2 tablespoons of something over filled it. Trust me I am a researching health nut. I had other complicated issues that had nothing to do with food addictions the reason I was overweight .

Any nausea I have had was drinking something I forgot to check for the amount of sugar we are allowed. No bread, Pasta, rice. less that 5 g a sugar a day. no juice, gum,fatty, fried, fast food etc. The list goes on what we are not allowed to have.

      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.
