As of yesterday I am 1 month post op revision from the sleeve to the bypass...... I don't think my body is healing as well as it should be at this point due to me being type 2 diabetic..... I'm having a lot of abdominal pains I'm not sure what's the cause of it but I'm not able to keep food down and I'm pretty much stuck in stage 3 of my diet but for the most part I'm back in stage 1. I've vomited so much lately that I'm afraid to eat anything at first I thought I was eating to fast but that wasn't it, I simply can't eat any food and it's getting harder to get my fluids in now.... I'm really fatigued like all the time and I don't know what to do..... Help ????????????

Hi, I had my by pass May 2015, for 3 months I vomited everything, I was miserable. In Aug. 2015 my surgeon did an Endoscopy and loosened the pouch a little and I've been fine ever since. Might be something to think about. Good Luck!

I'm sorry you're having these issues! Vomiting up most of what you eat is not normal. You may be having trouble healing for multiple reasons... the diabetes can contribute to that but not getting enough calories, Vitamins, and Water can have a really detrimental effect on your healing. Definitely contact your doctor! It is not normal or healthy to be unable to keep your food down.

I feel your pain. I can honestly say I have had three good days since my surgery( March 1). Instead of me progressing to the next stage I am going backwards. I am back to only drinking Protein shakes. No matter what I try to eat I end up feeling like cap. I have gone to the doctor twice and this last time the doctor took a xray while swallowing barium and found out that the tube connected to my pouch is slowly closing. Because of this no matter what I drink or try to eat it gets stuck and slowly goes down then I get sick. UnfortunatelyI have nothing to throw up but lots of saliva. Most of the time I am dry heaving. The doctor will set me up with an out patient procedure to widen the tube.

As your doctor to do a xray. I hope this helps you. Good luck.

The barium swallowing x-ray darnell is speaking of was done on me while still in the hospital before allowing me to go from Clear liquids to just liquids. Took a whole 15 minutes from beginning of test to completion of test.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
