I feel so miserable and don't know what to do? I been to the hospital and they gave me fluids and some medicine and I still don't feel better. if I would of known it was like this before I gotten it I would of never gotten this surgery, went from being so excited to so depressed.

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.

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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
