Sleeved and can't stop vomiting



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I was sleeved on Wed. January 30th and I don't have much pain, just itchiness on the incision sites, but I am vomiting every 2-3 hours. Its mainly bile. Is this normal and how much longer will this go on? I tried sipping Water but I can't hold it down.

I was sleeved on the 28th and the only dry heaving I had was minimal and from anesthesia. That does not sound normal to me at all. I have been drinking Water non stop since I passed my leak test with no issues. I believe you should call your doctor immediately. With that being said, do you think maybe it might be from the remnants of the anesthesia?

I didn't have vomiting right after the surgery. I do remember feeling nauseous but zofran always helped.

You most definitely need to call your Dr.

I imagine you will become dehydrated soon so you should plan a trip to the office to get a bag of fluids, at the very least.

Good luck!!

I don't know how normal it is. I didn't have any nausea or vomiting after surgery. If you're vomiting every couple of hours, you should be calling them ASAP.

Thanks, I believe I have it under control now. Just trying to push down some liquids and walking more.

I was so sick to my stomach after surgery it was crazy! But when I stopped the pain meds it all went away. I can't do narcotic pain meds - hope I don't ever REALLY need them!

I vomited so much I thought I was dying! Seriously considered begging my surgeon to put my stomach back. :) But after the 4th day I felt like a new woman.

I vomited for hours and hours after surgery. Your stomach and esophagus are still really swollen so I would not be too alarmed. I would call your surgeon and check with them. Do your best to keep as much Water down as you can and just do what you can. Keep an eye on your hydration levels and call your doctor ASAP.

I had 48 hours of dry heaving that did not begin until about 18 hours of surgery. It began when they took away the pain pump and gave me lortab. It sucked! I would call the doc and get an anti nausea med. good luck.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
