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



Recommended Posts

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. :)

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 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! 😞
