I have been super excited about getting my sleeve. But seems like all I've seen today is people with nonstop nausea and throwing up foam?? In complete misery. I am research a lot and know that this is a given, I mean 85% of the stomach is coming out. Just non I'm getting really spooked and rethinking this

I'm kinda having the same concerns...I'm ready but it seems there are so many people having an aweful time with it

progress starts in the mind

Everyone is different, I was fine no throwing up at all .

Maybe they aren't eating the way they are suppose to be and that's why they're getting sick..

My surgery date is next month. I enjoy reading people's success and misery throughout this process. It helps me be mentally prepared. I'm really good at handling "pain". I'm mentally excited & prepared to take the "pain" since I'll be losing weight, finally!! This is my only option. You have to do what you feel is right in your heart.

Height 5'0"

Weight for consultation: 216 lbs.

Pre-op Weight: Unknown until January 20th.

My profile picture is not me. It's my "FitSpiration" body.

Almost 3 years out and haven't thrown up once since surgery. You're only going to see bad stuff on forums. I've had no issues at all.

I'm a little over 2 weeks out and I have never thrown up. I weigh all my food and eat only what I am supposed to

I'm a little over 4 months out, have never puked. Surgery was easy. 42yrs old mother of 2. 274lbs, 268 surgery date. 190 today.

Those who are puking are more than likely drinking a carbonated beverage.

I kinda thought the same thing with all the horror stories the last few days. I have 6 more days to go. . I realized through the worst experience of my life when we were told our 18 yr old senior ( very last day of his senior year)(only 8 months ago yesterday) that he may have cancer and was taken 60 miles away to an oncology dept for 6 LONG days that PRAISE GOD ABOVE he did NOT have cancer!! we still do cat scans blood tests etc but he endured a million tests and highs and lows without showing me or his daddy any fear. If he can do that at 18 then I can do this and handle a little nausea and vomiting. Just gotta toot my baby boys horn. He is a real trooper!!!! Good luck to us all.

P.s. he was admitted back there 3 times for vomiting which was all dehydration related. Good reason for us to drink drink drink through the nausea.

I pray all is well with your son! I also had a near death experience with my daughter and if we got thru that then I can get thru this, expecially with a new and healthier me to look forward to!

My surgery was on Tuesday, and I had second thoughts, even as they were rolling me back to the OR. I kept worrying about all of the possible bad outcomes. I am not far enough out to say that everything is great and it is the best decision of my life yet, but I can say that I have had no complications at all. Even last night, I was thinking, "what the hell did I do to myself?" I have had lots of gas pains mostly, and a lot of discomfort. That being said, I was doing so well that they sent me home a day earlier than was expected. Just remember that when people are posting bad experiences it is typically because they are in that less than 2% complication group of people who experience complications. The other 98% are not having any issues at all, so they are not writing in this forum asking what they should do because everything is going well. The one thing I can say about reading all of those posts about things going wrong is that I was prepared for just about anything. Had I not done the research I did pre-op, I think my recovery would have been much tougher. At least I knew what to expect, which made it easier to deal with what I was feeling each step of the recovery so far.

Thanks for posting this. We tend to look at the negative. It has eased my mind.

I am 5 weeks post op, sleeve - I only threw up once and that was the day after surgery. I've never experienced "foams", I don't get heartburn, and I can gulp water (even plain water). No issues other than the soreness and discomfort that is part of the healing process. I even returned to work 7 days post op because I felt fine. Everyone's experience is different, but not all are experiences are bad. Hope this helps!

It is so normal to second guess yourself and have doubts. I could relate to wondering what the heck I was doing as they wheeled me into surgery! I've had a few thoughts like that since. But overall, the good far outweighs the bad, especially when the weight comes off and you feel lighter and more energetic.

I am 6 weeks post sleeve and things are great. All incisions healed to the point I don't worry about them, and able to eat and drink pretty well, just a lot less and have to go slow. If you listen to your new sleeve, it will tell you what to do and what you can handle.

Oh, and have not thrown up once. Stopped taking Omeprazol after 4 weeks and no heartburn.

Sorry I'm talking so much about me. I wish you a successful surgery and a great new life! You got this!
