6 weeks post-op gastric bypass

[Cnbanks2015 0]

Hello everyone. So I had gastric bypass 6 weeks ago today and I am still miserable! I get sick every time I eat. I can’t keep my Vitamins down. I have tried two different vitamins and both have made me sick. I do take omperazole everyday. I’m not sure what to do now, or if this is normal to still feel so bad after 6 weeks. At this point I’m regretting getting this done. If someone has some suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

I’m so sorry you are going through this. I would talk to the doctor. This week I will be at three weeks post op. I stopped the omperazole less than a week after because I found I didn’t need it. I only had two bouts vomiting and I think one was because I hated what I was eating and the other one was because I wasn’t paying attention and probably did not chew well enough. My biggest issue is that I am picky and don’t like ground chicken or ground turkey and I miss vegetables more than I could ever imagine. My experience could be a bit different because I had a revision for my sleeve because I screwed it up and gained on my weight back.

Good luck and I hope things get better for you soon

Have you considered vitamin patches. Apparently they don’t work for everyone but some who have issues with regular Vitamins try them.

No I was just reading about this. I will ask my doc about these. Thanks

contact your clinic. If you can't keep food down, there's a chance you could have a stricture. You're in the window for it (they usually occur 1-3 months after surgery - they're very rare after that)
