I'm 5 days post op having trouble today just ate some sugar free jello and laid down. Started feeling nauseous so I took an anti nauseas pill but I didn't take it soon enough. Sat up in my chair thinking elevation would help but I just violently dry heaved for about 3 mins. What are the chances I just hurt my sleeve?

Hello, sorry to hear your having trouble I'm 5 days out as well, for 2 nights straight I was having terrible gas pain but didn't know at the time it was gas. I tried the antacid pills they don't work. I called my Doc and asked him b/c I was scarred he recommended as much walking as I could, I also discovered that my sugar free popsicles actually helped out some ... Hope you feel better soon Best wishes

I am 2 weeks post op, the only thing that really helped when that feeling came on was to walk, remember to eat very slowly and you should be fine!

Should I be worried about a leak in my staple line now?

Highly unlikely, have you had your stomach X-ray yet?

Well unless you experience sharp alarming pains, fever, basically anything extremely severe you are okay. Be sure to keep in contact with your doctor incase you are still unsure, for the most part leaks are common within the first 3 months due to over eating so take it slow in the future and perhaps mush anything you're eating into a thinner consistency.

Can we keep this thread to people who might actually be able to help me? I'm freaking out here! Glad your doing well, I at the moment am not and I need advice from experienced sleeves. Thanks

Thank you very much!

I dry heaved for 14 hours straight after my sleeve! The nurses had their hands full with me! LOL! I was worried I would rip my staples right out, but the nurses weren't concerned. After three days, I had my x-ray and everything was just fine. No leaks. Good luck to you.

I hope I can be that lucky too. Thank you

I ask my dr about it and he said that it couldn't mess with the staples at all .. So I'm sure your ok .
