Hi there, Was wondering if you ever made a decision or found doctors or patients who could share more details on doing bariatric surgery if you have cyclic vomiting syndrome? I've suffered from CV for over 15 years (when I was a young teen). The epidodes have become fewer thankfully over the years and i use medicine like fenergon and migraine medicine to lessen the severity of episodes which are usually triggered when I get sick with a cold or virus. Last year I think i had about 4 episodes in total which is an improvement from when I would have monthly episodes as a teen All my doctors seem to think that doing the sleeve is the right choice for me especially as I have developed chronic back pain which is making weightloss even more difficult. I know any surgery is a risk but I would feel so much more comfortable about this situation if I knew of literally anyone who has CV and was able to live a normal life after surgery. There is no research that I know of. So few doctors are even familiar with this syndrome and so they dont see this as a potential problem for surgery. But I am in so much fear about doing something irreversable and slipping back to having multiple episodes of vomiting or if this could actually become a daily problem which would be a living hell. Hoping there is someone out there who might have insight on this. Thanks! Jaswin
