I've had issues with nausea for the last decade since my surgery, but not like this -- that's horrifying.

I'm going to guess that there's nothing new here, but scroll down until you get to the treatment suggestions, just in case: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/12/1/145

Hi,
May I say I am so sorry for what you are going through. I don't know where you live, but if you are near a good city medical center go ASAP. You should not be suffering like this. You can see a gastro or bariatric surgeon.

I also had the sleeve in 2012 and converted to bypass in 2018 due to severe GERD. I never wanted the bypass, but was told by my original surgeon this was the only choice. I question that today. If I can eat 2 small meals a day, it is a victory. I also just randomly pass out, but one one knows why. I get mega dose iron infusions. I stiff suffer with GERD either from ACID or BILE have been working on that for about 1 year.

Please keep us updated on your progress. Sending healing in your recovery
