Stomach Bug since surgery?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery in September 2013 and I work for a school system and have 3 kids. I have been around a lot of stomach bugs lately and last winter after surgery at work and in my own house. While everyone else in the house caught it and spent the 24 hours vomiting etc in the last 2 weeks I did not. I did however feel crampy and generally icky. I am wondering if that is now the symptoms of a stomach bug for me or if I have just by some miracle maybe all the Vitamins I take now managed to not catch the bug the last 2 years. I am still catching all the normal icky colds. But was just wondering if other people have experienced something similar at this point?

Hi,

I got sleeved Oct 2012 - and I too have been around many bugs , including colds and flu and haven't caught anything - I did have a bit of the runs a couple weeks ago but I think that was because I'd overdone the laxitives as I was the other way. I put it down to all the Vitamins and supplements too...

Seriously though. I have vomited almost immediately 5 times. 1 too many spoons full. It was the same coming up as going down. It was not the bug. I have no advice. Just color commentary.

Well, I was sleeved September 2014 and I've already had 2 bouts of sickness. I had the flu during Thanksgiving and a stomach virus last week. Both liked to kill me. I've always been a person who hardly ever gets sick. I don't know what's going on but I'm ready for the sickness to be over!

The cooties have taken up residence in my home. We had Swine Flu visiting with us for Thanksgiving, which kindly traded places with the colds everyone had before the holiday. The germs are ridiculous this year. I really would like to spray everyone in the face with Lysol, but I really don't want to go to jail.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
