Hey guys! I’m 2 weeks post op VSG today. I don’t see my doctor for 5 more days, then I’m assuming he’ll switch me to the puréed diet. I’ve lost 25 pounds already, so by no means am I disappointed, however, I need some SERIOUS help! Everything ....literally everything.... besides water is making me gag. It’s been going on for 3 days now. I can’t even look at something without gagging. I don’t know what the heck to do!! Did anybody else experience this, and how did you get past it? Any advice would be so so appreciated!!

Thank you all so much for your replies! I'm fairly certain now that it is just normal discharge! I still haven't been able to reach my doctor, but I was able to get some things to keep the incision areas clean. Again, thank you all!!

Hey guys, I know this is a question for my doctor (I am having a hard time getting ahold of his office today)... anyways, 2/5 of my incisions have small amounts of fluid draining from them. There is not any presence of redness or heat around them, and my temperature is well within normal. This has been going on since yesterday morning. I’ve been keeping the sites clean and to see how much it was leaking I put a bandage over the 2 spots before going to sleep last night. It isn’t a lot of fluid, less than a quarter size amount on the bandages this morning, but I am worried as I can’t reach my doctor. Does this sound like normal discharge 5 days post-op or does it sound like something I should head to the ER for asap?

Thank you both so much for your responses, my sleeve surgery went great and so far I’m not experiencing any reflux post op. I’ll probably get some Nexium to have on hand in case the issue arises again further down the road! Thanks again!!

Hey there! My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and I’m having pretty bad acid reflux right now, which got me googling and I saw some pretty bad things about acid reflux and being under anesthesia. I’m probably just being a worry wart but my anxiety is through the roof over it. Has anybody had any experience with this?
