Over 3 years and having problems w/ stomach
I had the VSG preformed on 10-30-10, which was 3 + years ago and I am experiencing bloating and vomiting after I eat or drink anything. The pressure is bad and is relieved after I get sick. I lost my insurance so I cant get it checked until I start the premium's back up. No doctor. I am also craving sweets with a vengeance and find myself slipping back to the old eating patterns. Anyone else experiencing these issues?

I am only 28 months out without issues. For the sugar cravings though it may help to decarb. Spend 3-4 days on only dense protein and green leafy veggies. First couple days might be rough, but by day 3 the cravings should all but stop. As far as the bloating and vomiting when possible see a doc. In the meantime try tracking eveything you eat to see if you can identify a culprit... something like lactose intolerance or a food allegery is what I would look for. Maybe spend the decarb time eatig only the same few foods that you tolerate, then add in new items one at a time to see if you can identify the offending food. (This obviously assumes that it is a lactose or allergy issue... but at least checking this way will not cost anything.)

That's how my stomach gets when I don't have the right PPI. I had to try several in order to find the one that lets me eat and digest food normally. Just a thought to ask your doctor about. Im almost three years ut and Ive had sooooo many problems with my stomach since surgery so I definitely understand.

I had tons of acid in my stomach, some reflux, but ever since surgery, my stomach always hurts - at first it was acid related, but then I had an abnormal scope - mine showed narrowing at the bottom part of my stomach, so my "restriction" has been growing over the last year - I went from being able to eat a whole sandwich to puking if I ate more than 2-3 oz (which at 3 yrs out is ridiculous). My problems got A TON better with the dexilant though. My stomach doesnt hurt, and I can eat almost normally again. I still get a really distended looking stomach when I eat, and a lot of bloating, but its still better.
