I hope they get this figured out soon Lux. It's definitely not normal to have vomiting go on this many weeks post op. I hope your dr. is running every test under the sun to find out what is causing all your nausea, while even on nausea medication.

Lux I had the tube. It's miserable I'd agree. I actually "rejected it" (vomited bile for 48 hours) and they had to go to IV feeding (TPN) instead. You will stay healthier on the tube than TPN though so try to get used to it!

Gad I hate to read every time I see a complication, but I'm glad you have at least somewhat of an idea what is wrong. What are they going to do about it though???

Hi iggy. First tube i vomited out so they placed second larger one farther down into the gut. The hope is the pouch in the stomach will close up on its own or may have to go back in and remove it

Hello all. Just returned from dr again 10 days since tube placement no vomiting since i was looking for good news but no such luck. Still have pouch on side of stomach & tube has slid out of juijenum & not sits just below pouch. So now dr wants me to lay off Protein down to 50gr a day & start getting 800 cal a day & keep tube in 2 more weeks. Im so confused as well as pissed off i just feel like im getting a run around. I would bet in 2 wks he recommends surgery lets watch and see

Oh Lux, so sorry you are going through this. No vomiting is a good thing though. What do they think caused the pouch?

Hope they figure it all out soon. I guess being conservative to them is a good thing. To you, it's just frustrating! Hang in there.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
