Hello all,
I had the sleeve surgery on 5/29/12 and was doing very well for the first 3 weeks. Suddenly, I developed abdominal pain and nausea. I was admitted because I wasn't able to eat or drink, upper GI tests were normal and I was sent home. Ever since that admission I have been unable to tolerate anything thicker than water. Within the last two weeks,I've lost the ability to drink water.
I've been vomiting and have had to have a PICC line place in order to receive hydration and nutrition. Another admission and more tests show that there is nothing mechanically wrong with the surgery or the stomach, but the doctors have no idea why I can't drink or eat anything. Has anyone experienced any symptoms like these after having a sleeve gastrectomy? Please write back if you have or know anyone who has had issues like these, we are desperate for answers.
Thanks,
Franklin
