Been so sick 3 weeks post op. Can't get fluids down. Woken up vomiting bile, brown mucus and blood thus morning. Vomited yesterday too but not blood. I just want them to find out what's wrong with me. Was sleeved nov 6th. Was doing OK a week or 2 out and started getting sick 6 days ago. Went to ER this past Monday. But they have me some fluids and a cat scan and blood work and didn't find anything except some esophageal swelling. They should have done an EGD. Going to an different ER. Been on straight gatorade for 4 days and getting worse. I should have went in yesterday but didn't want to ruin thanksgiving. Appreciate the prayers. I just want to get well.

I know this may sound silly, but have you tried Sea Bands? It's the acupressure bands people take when going on a boat, but also pregnant women for morning sickness. We swear by them, my daughter has taken during her worst migraines to help with the nausea. You can get at your local cvs or walgreens or walmart, next to Dramamine

I get sea sick. So have tried everything for that. I can control motion sickness with dramamine or patch but this nausea is different. I had tried the seabands before

Quick update. Still holding my own

Love the long note lol. Here goes to answer questions. Wife is doing well and is down 84 lbs in just over 3 Mos. I'm down 77 lbs since surgery 4 plus months ago. I've stalled pretty much for last couple of weeks. Don't know why as can't eat much. I've missed some work time here and there since returning about 7 weeks ago including 1 week when tube went back in. I don't think I drink enough as its hard, probably around 30 Oz a day but try to drink mostly powerade zero. I can tolerate most any food but in small quantities. Even had a bit of alcohol at a social gathering and get buzzed after a small amount buy buzz goes quickly lol. From a few bites I get uncomfortable, burp a lot, feel like I'll throw it up, start salivating, etc.. So somedays I don't get in much nutrition or protein. I feel nausea is getting worse lately so maybe botox is wearing off. Not sure. Surgeons now are wait and see approach. I haven't thrown up in weeks but close to it more and more last few days with some heaves, again I think nausea is getting worse. I haven't dwelled on what happens When botox wears off but now in my mind with increased nausea. So far nothing has prevented me from living life. I acting normal and doing normal things. Still think I am weak and need to try and exercise more. I am very tired by 8pm when used to stay up until midnight. Well hope that answers most questions. Maybe a new thread will be good, but I know a lot on here are following this one so that makes it easy.

I cannot express my feelings for the wonderful support you folks have given me and will always be grateful you got me thru the toughest part of my life. Thank you to everyone!

I hope that the hard part of this journey ends for you, you deserve to to be able to enjoy you weight loss. I admire how you have kept your head up and kept on going. You will get thru this npr. We will be here to support you!

You are one of the bravest people I have encountered. You should be proud of yourself for the way you have handled this horrible situation.

I'm glad to hear that you are somewhat better and hope you continue to improve. When/if the botox wears off, will they be able to administer it again, if necessary? Or is that too risky?

I think they could do it again they also talked about surgery to the valve to replicate the botox.

Maybe the artificial sweetners are an issue? My nut had me switch from Powerade Zero to G2 for extra cals. If I drink, or eat too quick, I get sick, or feel like I am going to. I hope you feel better soon. Nausea is the pits

How are things going for you?

Yeah we're missing. Hope all is well

He started a new, more positive thread and updated there. Search his name and it should pop up. The last check in was fairly positive.

I don't see a new thread when I search for him.

I don't see one either.
