I was sleeved on Tuesday and my doctor repaired my hernia at the same time but when I woke up in recovery I was very nauseated and was vomiting a lot but we began to notice that all the fluids I was trying to swallow would not go down, everything just sat in the top of my throat and it felt like I had big bubble or gas and major heart burn whenever I did try to drink water he thought my esophagus may have been swollen or the hernia repair may have been a little to tight but I couldn't even swallow the liquid meds or water by mouth so he kept me 2 extra days to give me time to heal and to make sure I would eventually be able to swallow but it progressively got worse, so on Thursday he scheduled me a upper gi and that's when they realized that my stomach was pushed up into my esophagus and he said they would be performing emergency surgery to go in and pull my stomach down...he said it happened when I was gagging and vomiting and it was so aggressive when I did that it pushed my stomach up....sorry for such a long answer to a simple question...but I'm doing so good the doctor just came in this morning and told me he's letting me go home bc I can swallow and tolerate all liquids.????....I'm so excited!!!!
