I'm sorry. I hope you feel better soon. It seems like it's a 50/50 on the vomiting/dry heaving thing. I hope I'm in the 50 that DOESN'T get it. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I have hereditary hbp also. I am so happy to read how well you are doing and that you are down to just 1 medication. I have been on bp meds since I was 12yrs old! I really appreciate your response. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I threw up the day after surgery. I also had the dry heaves several times during my hospital stay. I won't lie, it hurt, but it wasn't as bad as you might think. At this stage, you really don't have a whole lot in your stomach to throw up but I was definitely worried about the dry heaves since I kept thinking how hard it must be on my new stomach. Apparently quite common though!I'm DREADING that! But it's a small price to pay for getting healthy. I have struggled my whole life, so I am ready!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I have read that chicken seems to be hard for most after surgery. I might try to avoid it for a while. Or maybe chicken salad would be better since its not as dry? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I assume you mean June 2017 for surgery? (wasn't sure if this was an older post). I haven't had it done yet - but seriously looking into it. Throwing up - I was going to ask this question in here somewhere - vomiting is violent and comes from the stomach so I'm feel squeamish thinking about it should it happen right after the surgery!Yes, June 2017. I have heard from most people that vomiting seems to be from eating something you shouldn't, eating too fast or too much. I am going to do what the dr's say to the T kust to avoid that!

As of now, I don't have blood sugar ussues, but I AM on 5 blood pressure meds. I'm hoping the surgery/weight loss will allow me to at least cut back on them. I'm so glad to read that you haven't had any problems. I need to lose (in MY mind) at least 130lbs. Thank you so much for your response Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Hi. I have just decided on having the sleeve. I am not planning on getting it done until June (I work in a school, so i'll have the Summer to recover) my feelings are flip flopping from super excited, to nervous, embarrassed that I let myself get to this point. I have always been a bad eater LOTS of carbs. I KNOW it's going to be hard, but I also KNOW I am ready. I'm afraid of throwing up.I have NOT thrown up in 40 years, since I was a kid. That part scares me. Plus, is 2 months long enough to be physically back to "normal?"And my biggest question...THose of you that have the sleeve.....WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN???
