I am almost 3 years post op. I've never had any problems until lately. It seems like lately I am throwing up at least once a day right after I eat. And I'm not eating anything bad. Anybody else have this problem?

You may have an ulcer. That was my problem about the same time out. I take Prilosec and have only tossed once in two months.

I had a similar problem. This was about 7-8 yrs. after a revision. Ended up having surgery for a hiatal hernia. Showed most of my anatomy (gastric pouch) was above the diaphrahm. Anyway, it solved the problem.

That's a possibility. Because you know how it feels when you haven't chewed your food up good enough and it kind of wants to come back up? and you can kind of feel it right almost in your chest? That's kind of what this feels like except it's even happened with Soup and stuff that couldn't possibly block my hole. Looks like a trip to the doctor which I hate hate hate!!!

Exactly how I was feeling. I had to have my age 50 colonoscopy and since I was having trouble tossing Cookies, they did the upper too. Lower was clean as a whistle (as I predicted) so that verified the blood was from the ulcer. Wel, it turned out to be a baby ulcer and honkin' huge ulcer. Go now before whatever is causing the problem gets worse. Good Luck!!!!

Your right but oh how I dread seeing the doctor. Thought I was kind of done with them since I was having no problems and had reached my goal weight. But noooooo!

It's a never ending struggle. I was eating more than I should to compensate for throwing up. Now I have to lose the weight. Easier to go to the doc in the long run.

Too much volume of food? ? More than 1/2 to 1 cup can't fit 😳

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
