Remedy for sour stomach

Explaining your weight loss
I'm not hiding anything so i have told everyone i had surgery. Everyone has been very supportive and that helps with my recovery. It also helps that everyone since they know is more conscious of talking about food around me and offering me food.

doctor is making me come in to be seen
I'm really having those symptoms but I feel it is tolerable. I just do not have the energy to go back to work yet. I am a nurse and I work 12 hour night shifts. The nurse in call kept telling me i should not be eating soft foods if i am throwing up and i should go back down to liquids but when i tried to do that i could not stomach another protein shake so i stayed on soft foods.

doctor is making me come in to be seen
I called my doctors office to get them to extend my medical leave for another two weeks because i wanted off 6 weeks and my doctor changed it to 4 weeks. I told them i have been throwing up 2-3x/day and not getting all my fluids in. I was sleeved on 4/22 and am only getting in 20-30 oz of fluids in and about the same in protein. So the dr office called me back and said before they would extend my leave or give me more nausea meds i have to go in and be seen tomorrow.

Bougie Size?
People can ask whatever question they want it doesn't bother me that people ask questions. I was responding to the original question that for me i did not feel it was an important thing to talk about with my surgeon or worry about because as someone else said anything is smaller than my original stomach!

Has anyone had their gall bladder removed at the same time as the sleeve?
I didn't have my gallbladder removed because i have no problems with it. I am on actigall twice a day for 6 months to help prevent gallstones. My doctor puts everyone with a gallbladder on that during the phase of rapid weight loss.

Odd question about removing the drainage tube
My doctor keeps them in for a week. Most of my pain after i got home was from the drain. When they took out the drain the doctor had met take a deep breath and when I blew out he would pull some of it out. It took about three deep breaths and it was just a weird feeling not pain. Once it was out I had no more abdominal pain.
