My husband was sleeved on June 10. Since then he has been very ill. He has been hospitalized for severe dehydration a total of 12 times. He cannot eat any solid food without vomiting & has a hard time even getting water down. He has constant nausea & a pain at the top of his stomach. He also constantly spits & has to carry around a cup everywhere he goes. His doctor hasn't been much help. He keeps telling him that it will improve but it doesn't. I feel strongly that he's experiencing bile reflux. I've read that revision surgery where the sleeve is converted to the roux-en-y bypass has been extremely effective. Anyone have any experience with this that they can share? Also I should add that he has lost 106 pounds since then.

Yes the doc did a scope & didn't find anything except a ring on the esophagus from years of chronic acid relux. I also should mention that he had his gall bladder removed last week b/c the doc was sure this was the problem. He is still sick & continues to get worse. He has constant bile that comes up into his mouth & he's so miserable. Can GERD cause excess bile production?

My husband was sleeved a little over 8 weeks ago. He did fine for the first 3 weeks. After that he became unable to keep anything down. Even a simple sip of water makes him vomit. He has stomach pain, a chronic cough, burning in the throat, mouth constantly waters, extreme fatigue, & burping. He is currently in the hospital for the THIRD time for severe dehydration. We are losing hope & not getting many answers. Also he has been taking Zofran for nausea & Prevacid for acid relux. Any advice?? We are desperate!
