I am almost 11 weeks post op and still can't keep much down.

RNY on the 8th of January. Went back in the 10th of February. Twisted bowel my stomach was hung up on a staple and squeezing my pancreas and took out my gallbladder. Now I am on IV fluids and no one knows what to do. I vomit up most things. Can't take pills. I feel like they are just waiting for me to die.

@AmyH62.I am so sorry! Don't be discouraged. I am sure things seem insurmountable now, but they will improve. Keep your chin up and try to only read things here that are positive and uplifting. There are surely other people who have struggled like you are and they overcame. You will too! I will send up a prayer for you. :)

Sending prayers and positive thoughts your way, hang in there!

I had the sleeve 5 years ago and due to acid reflux and my esophagus was collapsing I had to have a revision to the bypass 14 months ago . I'm a 105lbs now and want to stop losing. I have been having issues since I had the revision. I just had a pick line in that I gained 20lbs and 3 weeks later it was gone. At first it was diarrhea and now its vomiting. I seemed to can't get a break. I felt great with the pick line in but that is dangerous walking around with a IV in your arm feeding you dripping over your heart. I just has another EDG on Monday and they found nothing again. I had to spend another $300 for that. I am trying to stay positive but this is getting very hard and expensive. Need someone to talk to.

I wish I had seen this sooner. Sounds like my life. I'm doing better now. Hopefully getting my g-tube out soon. How are you doing?

How were they able to tell you esophagus was damaged ?? Did the prescribe you reflux meds ?? Just curious I think I might be going through the same thing

I too had the sleeve 2 years ago an suffered with severe acid reflex an they said only thing would save my stomach an asophagus was revision to bypass an i had it august 18th no more acid reflex but scared how small I will get because everyone in my family that had bypass is like a size 0 so far I'm 37 pounds down an they want me to start working out an i told the doctor I still can't hold solid foods down an she said she's not to much concerned with that as long as I stay hydrated lol but I am concerned all I can hold down is liquids an yogurt an i tried smashing avocado that stayed down
