If it keeps up I would ask your DR to do a ENDOSCOPE, you might just have a Strictures. Easy fix they dialate it during your ENDOSCOPE with a balloon. They said it is kind of like scar tissue and it makes it hard to eat and keep it down. Just a thought. Good Luck

It is actually very common to throw up a lot. your body is adjusting. i had my surgery done at the number bariatric facility in the nation. i had excellent care and support. i have had follow up exams and ct scans and everything is right as rain. i have close to fifty friends who have done this with all different doctors and states and they all went through the throwing up stages. sometimes spices or stuff you used to eat that you can eat will still upset your stomach. it even says when you start introducing new foods that if it makes you sick try again later on. I have done extensive research and had a ton of prep classes.

My surgeon teaches that vomiting is not good, as your stomach or pouch is healing. They don't even want us to have nausea. I have a reglan script that I usually take before dinner, as the end of the day is tougher to get my food in. It immediately helps with all that. I vomited once, in the hospital, few hours after surgery and that's it. Nausea is a different story, I have that frequently, then I take a tiny pill [emoji16]

A gastric sleeve is different from a Divided RNY. A gastric sleeve still maintains the body's normal functions with a different stomach. I've talked to several bariatric specialist and everything I Am doing is all normal. Sometimes you can't feel the fullness in your pouch and you throw up because 2 tablespoons of something over filled it. Trust me I am a researching health nut. I had other complicated issues that had nothing to do with food addictions the reason I was overweight .

Any nausea I have had was drinking something I forgot to check for the amount of sugar we are allowed. No bread, Pasta, rice. less that 5 g a sugar a day. no juice, gum,fatty, fried, fast food etc. The list goes on what we are not allowed to have.

      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!!
