Question for 3 yr old VBGr's in Illinois
I had VBG in Aug of 01. For the past 6 months I have had problems with terrible heartburn, then nausea and vomitting. Probably vomit 2-3 times at least a week with nausea for the whole evening. I am questioning the staple line. I really don't have pain - maybe once in a great while I will get a small sharp abdominal pain, but it is fleeting. My next (and most regrettable) problem is that in the past 4 months, I have packed back on 25 pounds. I gradually increased 15 pounds since Jan of last year and now reached 40# back on. Seems like I can eat as much as I did before - however, there are times that I can only get 1/2 a hamburger down. I am just furious with myself!! I started at 250 and lost 95#. My surgeon retired and I don't know who to see. Any thoughts!???
