Throwing up

I had my sleeve done May of this year in another state from where I live. I went to another state because at the time our hospital was closed to surgeries because of covid. I have had nothing but trouble since. Emergency gallbladder operation,emergency endoscopy. I am throwing up all my meals everyday. I have only lost 46 pounds. I found a new bariatric surgeon and a new gastroenterologist l have had a barium swallow, 3 ct scans with contrast, a tube put down my nose, stomach xray. Now they want to do what they call a marshmallow swallow and a 4 hour ct study. My question is what do l do about food no one seems to care l am getting heart palpitations,my teeth are starting to break but when l ask about eating they all say we have to see what the tests say. Has anyone had anything similar?
 
I am so sorry you are going through all this. I hope they can figure out what is wrong. I suppose it is hard for them to come up with a solution to your lack of nutrition until they find out what is causing it. Are you able to keep protein shakes down or vitamins? Perhaps try extremely small amounts at a time?

I agree with Diane that you should see a dentist. Please keep us updated, we are concerned about you.
