I am normally ok throughout the day, but I can rarely keep dinner down. It almost seems as though my pouch is irritated after having to digest food all day that it just rejects any input. Also it doesn't matter if I eat one bite or five. I am almost 3 months post duodenal switch. Does anyone else have this issue?

I'm a sleever, but in my booklet the hospital give to me, they said if vomiting occurs go back to liquids for one day until your stomach settles and then gradually add solids back in.

hope this helps :)

I have found that if I eat just before I retire for the night, the food sits heavy in my stomach. Sometimes I have to get up and vomit. Then I have to stay awake for several hours until my stomach settles down. As a result I have altered my eating habits to never eat before I retire for the night.

Believe it or not it was way worse for about two months. I have had all the tests done and all came back normal. My doctor says that some people's system can take up to a year to adjust.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
