Unexplained vomiting



Recommended Posts

I got banded 5 yrs ago and lost 30 kilos over 3 yrs - very slow but I was happy. I had some removed so I could enjoy my honeymoon and when I got home I had it refilled. I started to experience unexplained vomiting. It was not a block or a stuck as I know very intimately what that feels like. Instead the vomiting was violent, unpredictable and sudden and often I would not make it to the bathroom. I had a barium swallow but all was ok. I ended up having some Fluid removed as I was so run down and exhausted not to mention highly embarrassed by the vomiting. There were times I would even loose bladder control. I am now back to my pre operative weight and am terrified of getting another fill. I am now considering sleeving. Does anyone else experience this?

Not me. Just wanted to respond. I've read many posts over the years and not one was similar to yours? Has to be a reason why you violently vomit though? What do your doctors think?

No, I am definitely not pregnant. The surgeon had no explanation either. I am now considering a sleeve but I'm terrified that it will happen again and then I'm stuck with this same issue for life. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

It happened to me recently a couple of times, In one occasion I was walking and I cough and suddenly I vomited, no nausea, right in the middle of my living room. I guess I ate a little more than I should eat. But I decided to go back to 6 oz of food and to watch for the sensation of not feeling hungry instead of feeling full.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
