Sleeved and can't stop vomiting



Recommended Posts

Hey guys' date=' 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.[/quote']

For me this happen for the 2 days I was in the hospital and 3 days when I got home I dont know if it was the anesthsia or the morphine but that was the worst for me as well other than that no real pain! Congrats on ur surgery each day will get better trust me!

I was heaving and nauseus the day before and day of my two week follow up wasnt sure why i knew it wasnt from a new food or med, so they gave me a prescription that helped a lot. Then today (yesterday was my two week follow up) i woke up with a 100 degree fever and killer sore throat. So i would recommend just be cautious it is flu season after all and some of the flu symptoms mimic a leak stay in contact with your doctor.

I am scheduled to be sleeved Feb 12 and I am so FREAKED out about getting the flu!! I have to imagine THAT would not be fun...(and I don't want my surgery postponed) Yeah, Chubarella I would totally call your Dr.

I know what you mean, I felt a little fluish before my surgery but went through with it anyway. (Started feeling ok when they put in my iv) I ended up with a nasty chest cold or bronchitis or something the day after surgery so I was coughing an awful lot like with every other breath, with the fresh incisions it was miserable. I would recommend getting a lot of Vitamins and be pro active avoid anything or anyone that might get you sick! Take some emergen-c. :) take care of yourself and good luck.

I am almost a month post op and still when I eat something non liquid I vomit. I am on pureed foods, but they do not stay down. I told my dr, and he said drink slower, but this is something happening without drinking. If it is not normal, then what is it? I know 'call my doctor' let us know that this part is understood, can anyone give me any additional advice as to the possible implications of vomiting post sleeve, off medications?

I am also a month out and just recently stopped vomiting with everything that entered me. I have called my doctor multiple times and he doesn't seem to care. He told me that what I am doing doesn't come from the surgery so it has to be something else and I should come in for a cat scan... Ugh NO

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
