Nausea/vomiting/heartburn after sleeve



Recommended Posts

Wondering who really struggled with nausea vomiting or heartburn right after sleeve surgery. I am really having a hard time keeping anything down. Yes, I am following all the instructions, no I’m not consuming too much. I take 2 sips of Water and then have a burning sensation rise in my throat that then makes me drool and I only find temporary relief if I am able to burp or vomit. Is this part of the process? I have tried OTC solutions such as gaviscon, emetrol, gas x.

Yes this is normal, I had the same issues...

I had a hernia repaired so I’m sure that didn’t help either...I am close to 4 months pre-op and still get nauseous and vomit....I told my dr and he prescribed me nausea meds, it does help...I believe because I have a weak stomach, I was nauseous throughout all my pregnancies too, so that’s what it feels like...

Seems like most people buy the over the counter Prevacid or Prilosec right after the VSG. Your symptoms seem to be pretty common (according to my obsessive research lol) so the only question will be whether this becomes permanent or is just temporary during the healing process. Hopefully it's just temporary until the swelling goes down. Good luck. :1311_thumbsup_tone2:

I'm not a doctor but Ive acquired reflux. I'm really hoping this is temporary. Did the doctor prescribe reflux medicine?

Dr told me it’s likely swelling and tough it out basically.

I had to experiment with with Water and fluids to find the right temp (even today 4 wk post). I was also given a prescription for prilosec with my surgery because heartburn is very common.

Take it slow, experiment, and take your PPIs and know this too shall pass

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
