I had a gastric bypass on Monday. Tuesday was actual hell because I kept throwing up for nearly 24 hours.
I was feeling better by Thursday and was able to come home on Friday but now (Saturday) I am vomiting and it tastes like fecal matter smells?
My hospitals nurse line is closed so I can’t call until tomorrow.
Has anyone else had this happen? If so, what were the results?
Google is making it sound like I may need another surgery to fix a blockage.

Go to your nearest hospital emergency centre. Better to know what’s happening & start some treatment. You may only need nausea meds & fluids - fingers crossed.

Some do experience some vomiting. If it’s yellow it may be excess bile/stomach acid. If it’s dark almost blackish it could be remnant blood from the surgery. But again seek some medical advice to be sure.

All the best.

It tastes like poo smells? That's not good. Call your surgeon's after hours line and head to the ER. You shouldn't be throwing up for 24 hours, and it DEFINITELY shouldn't taste like poo smells.

I used to have "sulfuric" burps (rotten egg smell) and it's from my gall bladder and/or gerd....so hopefully it's something like that. Please let us know what you find out. Pray all goes well!

Sorry for the late reply. I was able to call my surgeon the next morning and he advised me to drink 1/2 bottle of magnesium citrate and after 8 hours I used the toilet and since then I have felt great. I guess I was just super backed up or something?

Good to know. I am 6 days post-op and I’ve been doing good for most of it except Wednesday and Saturday had bout of explosion of diarrhea. I’m guessing my body is getting accustomed to the big change I put it thru.

That's a thing??? You can get so backed up that vomit tastes like poo? So was it poo making you vomit? I'm really confused. Are you able to go regularly now?

      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.
