Had gastric sleeve with hernia repair , was suppose to have had bypass but due to previous surgeries it wasn't possible.

I am 3 1/2 weeks post op ; I have lost 40 lbs. I am sick alot. I can only eat twice a day and usually throw one of them up. Veggies nor any protein will stay down . Is anyone else having this problem?

They opened my tummy esaph/ stomach. And stomach/ small intestine they stretched it with a balloon, I was so restricted no food could enter my stomach. That's why I was throwing up. Stomach still little raw from test but food is staying down. Starting to feel better! Thanks for all the support!!!!!!!

So glad they found the problem. Thank you for posting the results of what the doctor found. Saying prayers for continued recovery!

So glad to hear you have an answer. I hope it is all good news for you from here on out!

Hey, I had my surgery on the same day as you! (but no hernia repair) I think my sleeve is pretty restrictive, too (I can still only eat about 1 tablespoon of food a meal, 4 times a day (my nut wants 5), but nothing like yours. I did throw up a lot in the beginning, but once my nut taught me how to eat (not sure why they couldn't do that before I left the hospital - had to wait till my 2 1/2 week appointment for that), I've mostly managed to eat without problems. The funny thing is that although I was never much into fish (at some point I wouldn't touch most types of fish), that's about all I eat nowadays! For some reason, meatballs are just not sitting well with me, and chicken tastes too bland. (I used to eat 2 chicken / turkey / meat meals a day before my sleeve!) But other than that, doing fine. So I'm glad to hear they found the problem and doing better. Good luck with your weight loss!

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. But from what I've read, some sleeves do take more time to heal than others. So it may be that in a couple of weeks or a month from now, you will be able to hold down meat. Don't give up!

Finally seeing some improvement , not throwing up as much quite nauseated at times. Still only eat 1 or 2 times per day that's all I can hold. Total loss since feb 29, 2012 44 lbs

Glad to hear that there's been an improvement - I think that while most of us are taking baby steps in our recovery, you're taking extra-extra-extra-small baby steps. But I have no doubt that you WILL eventually catch up to the rest of us - it may just be a longer journey than most...

Well tomorrow makes 8 weeks post op; things are getting better. Holding down food better, more textured foods. Total loss as of today is 51 lbs. I still only eat 2 times per day and sometimes a small snack.

So glad to hear that. I was wondering how you were. Small steps in the right direction! Keep it up.
