  1. Had Gastric Sleeve December 9, 2013 and I am still very sick

    libbyballard posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    My surgery was December 9, 2013. My surgeon was Dr. Shinn in Charleston, WV. Things during surgery and immediately after went as expected. After about 4 weeks I started feeling constantly nauseous and had excessive salivation. My per existing hiatal hernia flared up and my surgeon did a repair. I have not been able to overcome this problem and consequently I gave been hospitalized three times for dehydration and low potassium. I honestly try and drink and get my protein but I throw up immediately practically everything I swallow. Even water makes me nauseous sometimes. I try to sip something every few minutes. I have tried smoothies, packaged protein drinks. I have list 86 pounds, but I feel so unwell that I almost regret my surgery.
