It's not "like that" for most people. I have felt great ever since my surgery. Maybe you are actually sick? Cold? Flu? Something temporary? Take it easy.

this is certainly not normal. if it isn't better on the medicine they gave you then you should call the doctors office and let them know.

that's what I figured this can't be normal because I can't even drink Water without throwing it up, and a week ago I was fine, now my chest hurts I always have to throw up whatever I intake, I'm just not happy I'm weak and don't feel good

What does your surgeon say? Did they contact your surgeon when you were in the ER? If you haven't called your surgeon yet do it asap. You could have a stricture or something. This is not normal.

Either you really are sick with a bug or such, or something has gone wrong. Either way, you'll get better results from talking to your surgeon instead of posting on a message board Hopefully your doctor is nearby rather than in Mexico. In your case, I wouldn't wait to get help. It could be serious. Do something now.

This is not normal and you need to contact your surgeon. Did the ER do any scans or tests to make sure there wasn't an issue?

5 days of not drinking will result in severe dehydration... Best plan is for you to go to the ER or a walk in place ASAP... You can't sit by watching medical issues get worse, you need to take action... Toss the regret away because there is no changing having the surgery but you do need to have whatever is going on addressed.

2 days ago I went to my nearest ER and they gave me fluids and they don't have experience with sleeve surgery and they said if I don't feel better to go to my surgeon where I did surgery and that's what I'm doing now

Get your potassium checked. That happened to me and I was admitted to replenish fluids and get 10 bags of potassium.

I'm on the same boat. I was sleeved in late April. I saw my GP on Friday and she said that it could be a stricture. Basically it's when your stomach heals but the hole entering your stomach is too small. The only way to fix it is to get a balloon dilation. Apparently it's not uncommon. I've seen multiple people here with the same symptoms and all have said the same. I was really worried until I spoke to my doctor. Try to stay as hydrated as you can and go see your doctor.

I found Gatorade was easier to keep down and they prescribed Ondansetron for the nausea until I can get seen by my Gastroenterology doctor.
