Yes, I had VSG on 7-05-18. I'm doing well but still have to work at it to get my fluids and Protein requirements daily. It's a process.

According to the internet:
Nausea and vomiting are the most common complaints after bariatric surgery, and they are typically associated with inappropriate diet and noncompliance with a gastroplasty diet (ie, eat undisturbed, chew meticulously, never drink with meals, and wait 2 hours before drinking after solid food is consumed). If these symptoms are associated with epigastric pain, significant dehydration, or not explained by dietary indiscretions, an alternative diagnosis must be explored. One of the most common complications causing nausea and vomiting in gastric bypass patients is anastomotic ulcers, with and without stomal stenosis. Ulceration or stenosis at the gastrojejunostomy of the gastric bypass has a reported incidence of 3% to 20%. Although no unifying explanation for the etiology of anastomotic ulcers exists, most experts agree that the pathogenesis is likely multifactorial. These ulcers are thought to be due to a combination of preserved acid secretion in the pouch, tension from the Roux limb, ischemia from the operation, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, and perhaps Helicobacter pylori infection. Evidence suggests that little acid is secreted in the gastric bypass pouch; however, staple line dehiscence may lead to excessive acid bathing of the anastomosis. Treatment for both marginal ulcers and stomal ulcers should include avoidance of NSAIDs, antisecretory therapy with proton-pump inhibitors, and/or sucralfate. In addition, H pylori infection should be identified and treated, if present.
So several individuals experience severe nausea after bariatric surgery. Nipping H. pylori prior to surgery, will relieve a major problem after surgery. It is a common infection. About fifty percent of the world's population has it. It is also difficult to kill. It is somewhat antibiotic resistant. I may take a couple rounds to kill it off using various cocktails of antibiotics.

Thank you for the info . King James.. [emoji3]

How do you know it was a false positive? I tested positive, did antibiotics, and waited to test negative, but my endo was early in my process so it didn’t delay me at all.

It wasn't the worst part of the whole deal. I took the pain med. and it helped. The overarching problem I had was dehydration. You hear about this more than anything on this forum but there's a reason for that!!
