I had to reply because I noticed no one else was! Vomiting a little the first few days is not uncommon when you're trying to get fluids in. Reflux is also something that many struggle with post op but I'm not sure if they had issues before. The doctor will give you a prescription for Tecta or something similar if you're having an issues with acid. I never had any of the issues you mentioned but there's a small chance of any of them with this surgery. Lots of people have discomfort in their shoulders from lingering gas (used during surgery) but I really wouldn't give the list a second thought, the chance is so small, it's just causing undue worry and you'll handle anything that pops up along the way.

I had VSG surgery in Moncton in April this year. I had occasional reflux after surgery and was taking medication. I am no longer taking the medication and take 1 TUMS once in a while. No other complications.

No complications at all here!  I haven't vomited at all since surgery.  There was a little nausea after I ate clams one day, guess my sleeve didn't like them that much.  Not a big deal!  No troubles with any other foods.
