I have an issue that I haven't seen discussed and I am desperate for help.

I was sleeved on 4/ 22. Post op has been fine, no pain, incisions are almost all healed. The issue I am having, and have been having over the last 4-5 days is this. I am taking small sips of liquid.... Water, rtd Protein Shakes, crystal light, and zero Vitamin water. I take a small SIP, I burp, and then reguritate it back up. I am feling constantly FULL. Its like nothing is leaving my sleeve. I have to have a cup with me constantly to spit this stuff into ( I am sorry about the picture I'm describing...but its the truth!) I am terrified I am going to become dehydrated. It is not vomiting...its the burping and regurgitating. I am not keeping anything in. This cannot possibly be normal. I have emailed my surgeon ( I was sleeved in Mexico). I also have an appointment with my PCP on Friday am. Can anyone give me any insight? I am over this!

Thanks for any input you can give me!

You need to call your doctor and have an Endoscopy done, now.

My mom had those symptoms the week before she passed away - I am not trying to scare you.

They think she had a vein bulge in her esophagus and it was creating a blockage (they think). My Mom passed away from a espohageal embolism a week after my VSG Surgery.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
