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!

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?

      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.
