Hey guys i was sleeved on Wednesday and home yesterday. I am having a lot of issues with nausea. Did anyone else experience coughing up flem and feeling as if you need to puke constantly? I have been trying to drink Water and take all my medications but when I do I start coughing everything back up. When does it get better?

@@Chale1990 Yes I had really extreme nausea post op VSG. Maybe there is something your surgeon can give you for that. You definitely don't want to vomit up all your fluids. You need to get down whatever you can. Call soon so they can help you. Good luck!

Ah yes, I remember it well. A couple days after surgery and than at month 2 it set in for a month. Ask your surgeon to call in a script for the behind the ear patch or an oral med for nausea. This to shall pass. It's just part of the the sleeves charm ;)

I am two days out and had extreme nausea too. I believe it is because of the anesthesia and pain meds I had at the hospital. I haven't needed pain meds since I got home. Today, I was a little queasy, but able to keep everything down. I would definitely talk to your doctor. If you need pain meds, maybe he can switch you to something easier on your stomach? And if you try not taking them, you may find the pain is totally manageable without them.

Also, the only thing that seemed to help me was walking around. I felt my tummy rumbling as I moved and I did need to burp, but it helped liquids stay down by forcing them through the pouch instead back up my throat. I also took some Gas X strips and that seemed to calm things down a little.

I hope you feel better soon!

Yes I stopped all meds prescribed by the doctor today and feel much better! The only problem I have now is that I have developed a rash all over my sides,stomach and breast :-(

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
