I don't know how normal it is. I didn't have any nausea or vomiting after surgery. If you're vomiting every couple of hours, you should be calling them ASAP.

True, especially if all you were eating was Jello, broth and cream Soups. Those would slide right through the sleeve and not buiild up enough to cause any stretching. You would almost certainly had staple failure before any of the existing sleeve stretched.
Something is very not right here.

Yeah, the number of Vitamins and supplements you need to take after surgery is pretty daunting. Unfortunately, there is no single pill you can take to cover all your needs. Besides, if such a pill existed, it would probably be about the size of a hockey puck.
You can't take certain meds together because they tend to cancel each other out so you need to split them up over the course of the day anyway so an all-in-one solution wouldn't really work. Get used to taking pills, lots of them, all day long. I have one of those ginormous granny-sized pill carriers that holds a week's worth of pills split by day into morning, noon, evening and bedtime slots. Once you get into it, it becomes pretty routine.
I don't envy you having to fly after this. I was lucky that I was relatively pain-free after surgery and felt like I could have gone back to work three days after I was discharged, but I was lucky. Take it extra easy when you're in SoCal but do all the walking you can tolerate and you should peobably be fine for the flight home.
Good luck and remember that folks are here for you!

Slow down there chicken Little, the sky isn't falling just yet. No one really knows what happened here yet and it's WAY too soon to start blacklisting surgeons before the whole story is brought to light.
The OP didn't have her surgery in TJ so this tale of woe shouldn't cause you any additional surgeon angst.

That wasn't rude.
Bless your heart.

Suz, with the beating she's been taking from the kangaroo court here, do you honestly think she's going to be forthcoming with any more details? If I was her, I'd ignore this thread and just see the doc as planned and go from there.

To all the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys wannabes who think they've got this mystery all figured out, you should probably shut your yaps because you really have no idea what's going on here. None of us do. Pretending you do and using your questionable hypotheses as an excuse to kick the OP around is pretty sad.
LasiWobs, I hope you get some answers on the 6th.

One more day before the super exclusive Class of January 2013 closes it's books forever. Good luck to whoever is having surgery tomorrow!

That sounds like a wonderful question to ask your surgeon or dietician, since they know your status, condition and dietary plan far better than any of us ever will.

Now you have. My surgeon doesn't do that type of leak test. They perform a leak test while you're still under in surgery.

I was told I had mild gastroenteritis and a hiatal hernia but when they opened me up there was no hernia, so yay for that at least.
