I hope you're doing well! I am two weeks post-op and had many of the same fears you did especially about throwing up--I actually didnt get sick for the first week and a half post-surgery and the one time I did was completely my fault (went to bed too quickly after eating). If you need to burp, for the first couple days it will feel like you're going to throw up, but once you pass the air it will subside. Take the antinausea meds you were prescribed and take it easy for a few days. You've earned your recovery time!

I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 9/16 in Cincinnati at JourneyLite...I am doing OK so far, one scare with dumping syndrome on the first day I was able to eat purees, and ended up in the ER because I fainted in the bathroom but other than that, great! I need to find something pureed that is a good source of iron--I have these intense cravings for red meat (something I shouldn't really have until December!) and I can't take vitamins other than B-12 yet
