Gastric sleeve , I'm so sick



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve on 3-19-15 . the second I was out of the hospital I was super sick. I try to keep Fluid down as well as most of my Protein Shakes . the nausea and vomiting come at random times, and every day. I just was hospitalized for being so sick and was released yesterday but again today I am so sick! It has been a lot to handle and scary. The good thing is I have no leaks but this sickness I feel is just to much! Anyone else experience this? What helped? What did you do? Please any advice or info would help greatly! Thank you.

Do you now have a prescription for a nausea medication? Rest would be good.

Yeah I have tried the Patches, zofran, and phangren (s/p?) Nothing seems to stay down long enough to work or it just doesn't work. I'm hoping that soon it will go away, this being sick thing is really exhausting

I had my surgery on 3/18/15 I find if I eat too much or too fast I end up with dumping syndrome. I am taking opermazole and ursodal. They help but not if I am doing the above. It is a real challenge to eat slowly and small portions. I'm still pureeing food. I hope you feel better soon.

I had my sleeve 3-19-14. Was fine the first 2 months. Then I started throwing up everything I ate and drank. Was nausous 24/7, slept with a big plastic bowl because I couldn't get to the bathroom fast enough. Oral anti nausea meds did not work. The only thing thit would give me relief was IV anti nausea meds. I was in and out of the hosp/ER. My SURG said there wasn't anything wrong with me. I found out over the phone he was referring me to his partner. It took them 6 weeks to get my records to his office so I could schedule an appt. I begged my primary to order home iv therapy for me.after a week of continuous medicine the vomiting stopped. I throw up once in a blue moon now. The new Dr did an endoscopy and told me I had Bile Reflux. I already had damage to my esophagus and the lining of my stomach. I was put in 3 meds and told I would need gastric bypass with a bowel resection to fix it. I'm not having another surg until I get a second opinion. There is a well respected bariactric surg at Barnes hospital, Dr Eagon who I want to see. He might have a less invasive way to treat this. I have lost 135 pounds, 330 to 195. My cardiologist released me because my leaky valve repaired itself with my west loss. My cardiologist was after me for 2 years to have this done. I'm limited on foods I can eat. I literally spent 8 months living in my bed. I lost a ton of muscle mass and could barely walk. Now I can walk a mile in 15 minutes so I have diff entry gotten better. But I know I have more treatment/surg down the road to correct the issue.

Everytime I eat something I get nausous and I stay nausous until I can start drinking liquids again. I am so nausous now in fact, and it's been 2 hours since I ate Breakfast.< /p>

I am doing better, I have a ercp procedure coming up to hopefully help with my liver and pancreas ,I have been in the hospital 9 times in the last month. Hopefully this is the last step, I'm having trouble with acid reflux now (at least I think that's what it is) so I'm being very careful of things I eat. I have lost a lot of muscle mass to from living in the hospital, I am now trying to regain strength and hopefully return to work soon I've been so sick I haven't been able to work but now that things are looking up I'm going they stay looking up :)

Hoping they*

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
