I would definately go see Dr. Nohr.  He may do a gastroscopy to check things out.

hi there, sorry you're having a rough go!  I am 6 1/2 yrs out from RNY & cannot vomit at all!  This is a documented side effect of this surgery.  a year ago, i too was diagnosed with anemia, and after stubbornly persisting with oral supplements which did nothing, I take injections every 2 months!  Just a quick question, are you heaving due to dumping or something else?

My surgery for my sleeve was done in Nova Scotia. We moved here and I got the panniectomy cover easily with 160 off and the fat apron has to hang below the hip bones.

Topic: Is it normal?

Hello, it's been a while since i've been on here and posted, but i hope all is well with everyone. :) I'm hoping someone can put me at ease and maybe clarify some things for me?

It's been 2 years since my surgery, and i've started having some issues with eating again, and having pain on my upper right side.  I've had a bit of a roller coaster with my health, as i've been anemic and now have to get Iron via IV every few months. Last month i had low potassium, which i was told was unusual and my family Dr. didn't know why.  I was actually admitted to hospital for a couple days as he thought i was hypoglycemic.... fortunately, i'm not.  He wants me to go back to Dr. Nohr for more answers as i haven't been feeling well for the past few months.  My main concern is i am nauseated, but since my surgery, i have not been able to throw up AT ALL.   Its very painful as i just dry heave until the nausea subsides.  Is this a side effect from the surgery to not be able to throw up?  Does anyone have this issue too.  

Would love to hear from anyone so i kinda know i'm not alone or making too much out of it....

Take care,

Nelajoal
