My husband was sleeved a little over 8 weeks ago. He did fine for the first 3 weeks. After that he became unable to keep anything down. Even a simple sip of water makes him vomit. He has stomach pain, a chronic cough, burning in the throat, mouth constantly waters, extreme fatigue, & burping. He is currently in the hospital for the THIRD time for severe dehydration. We are losing hope & not getting many answers. Also he has been taking Zofran for nausea & Prevacid for acid relux. Any advice?? We are desperate!

Have they scoped him?

I was thinking stricture, but perhaps not,

So extreme gerd?? Here's a thread about a recents sleever with extreme gerd, it happens sometimes ....

I Hope and Pray they check him for leaks and his health improves so he can focus on his weight loss in a "healthy" way...and that his medical problems are resoved..

Praying.......

Praying for yoyr husband please keep us all updated on how he is doing. Stay strong & keep faith!

I will def keep him in Prayer.

Praying or answers very quickly!

Tc's Ready!

Please let us know how this progresses. This sounds so unusual that the MDs are the best sources of info. Laura, I did not think of GERD... so DID they do a scope??

Yes the doc did a scope & didn't find anything except a ring on the esophagus from years of chronic acid relux. I also should mention that he had his gall bladder removed last week b/c the doc was sure this was the problem. He is still sick & continues to get worse. He has constant bile that comes up into his mouth & he's so miserable. Can GERD cause excess bile production?

GERD can absolutely cause the symptoms you mentioned. Also having his Gallbladder out causes a host of digestive problems as well!

Saying a prayer for him right now!

Definitely Gerd symptoms...tell them to try prescription Nexium...it is a bit expensive even with insurance but definitely worth it.

Yes he can have bile reflux.... I wonder if they have done a barium swallow? I think if there is bile coming up it would mean the lower sphincter is not closing properly?? Bowel obstruction?

Slow draining stomach (Gastroparesis)??

I don't know I'm just thinking out loud here but I would ask about these things..

Did you read the link I put above?

Oh and have the done a Esophageal motility test?

sending prayers..... stay strong.
