Still getting ill...



Recommended Posts

I'm nearly 2 years post op (bypass) and most foods still make me ill after only a couple of bites. I take small bites, eat slowly etc., not heavy/ greasy food, but yeah. Most food makes me a bit sick and I'm so over it. Like, it's a struggle to remain over 115lbs, which is crazy! (I still have a bunch of skin removal to go too, at least 5lbs worth and my weight ranges between 117 and 125.) I'm putting a call in to my doctor because it just seems a bit weird that I'm still getting nauseated so very often. Keeps me skinny I guess. *sigh* 😓 Anyone else have this issue?

At almost 4 years out I started to get nauseous for no reason. I have been like this since Feb. it’s not food. I really can’t figure out what it is & neither can any Dr including my surgeon.
He did an EDG a couple weeks ago & didn’t see anything wrong.
some days I’m good & somedays, like today, I’m bad!
I have been to my PCP, gastrointestinal, urologist, naturopath & my surgeon. Who else can I try?

I’m so sorry that either of you are going through this. If I were in your position I would go to a place like Cleveland clinic or mayo or one of those places that the specialties really do work together to get to the bottom of things. My husband went and he seen like 6 or 8 doctors within two days And they did several scans and a crazy amount of labs. I really do hope you figure out what’s going on really soon.

I was thinking the same thing. Best of luck to you both.

Yeah, speak to ur doc…if there is something you need to be worried about, he’ll let u know.

I’m 4 years out, i dont eat much at one sitting (compared to “normal” people) or i’ll feel icky and or sick or barf. I also dont eat very fast, not eat alot of sugar at once nor on an empty stomach…cuz yeah, i’ll feel icky or sick or barf..in the case of too much sugar, add in racing heart, lethargy, headaches, the runs…

If you are down with tracking, try finding a pattern to the sick feelings and what/how fast/when you are eating. You may find the culprit or at least learn what YOUR limits are.

Good Luck! ❤️

      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!!
