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?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
