  2. Call your Dr to make sure everything it ok. Are you able to keep water done? You shouldn't be getting sick especially dry heaving.

  19. I have been having a lot of issues for a month know. A lot of stomach pain, heart burn and phlegm. It got to the point on May 1 was no longer able to keep any fluids down and forget food. I was admitted in the Hospital out of state for 4 days. They did an EDG Scoop the esophagus is really swelled and they did biopsy. I have Barrett's. I'm will get the results on Monday. I have flown home to get this taken care of. My chest feels like some one is cracking my ribs. I can know keep ice chips down, sugar free popsicle (very slowly) and the most important medicine. The worse of it all is that I wake up choking on my stomach fluids. I have lost 17lbs in 11 days. (which is great but not how I want it.
  20. I chew a lot so I know its not from chewing enough or eat to fast. The slimes are really bad it doesn't matter it happens after one swallow.
  21. I had the sleeve done on February 22 of this year. I have had stomach pain on and off but nothing major. They said I have hematomas and the are getting smaller. I did have a small kidney stone which I think it has passed but I think I have a new one. For the last 8 days I have been having issues with keep solid food down. The surgeon said to go on liquids for a week. I go to the Urologist on Monday to see if that could be causing my issues? (pee blood) I have a lot of phlegm no matter what I eat or drink. Any one have any ideas or had the same issue? Help? I'm going on vacation on Wednesday for 2 weeks. Hope it wont be all liquids the whole time.
  22. I have never been a person who goes regular but I have gone several times and still have stomach pain. Its been going on for a little over 3 weeks. Still waiting on the authorization to get it scan done. Any suggestions on what is causing it appreciated. I'm so over it
  23. I had the sleeve removed also due to it grew into my stomach. I got the sleeve on Feb 22, 2019. I have been happy with my progress. I did have a stall for about 5 days but I just started eating real food and carb which I know better. I have loss 2.5lbs in 3 days since the stall. You need to talk to your Dr and see what they think will be your best option.
  24. 8lbs in 15 days is pretty good. I'm have pain in my stomach too which I have told been telling my Dr. He has finally is setting up to have a CT Scan with contrast. I thought at first I pulled a muscle but it has been 3 weeks. Call your Dr. Let me know what you find out
