    jmccaffrey got a reaction from ARMoma45 in July 2019 Surgery Siblings Post-Op   
    Hey guys, for the past four weeks, out of nowhere, I have begun throwing up mucus. It happens about 5 times a day. Before I would just dry heave, and maybe spit up if I hadn’t had too much to eat and drank too much Water on an empty stomach. I’m working with my dr on it, but I can’t help but wonder if anyone else has this same problem? Nothing changed, diet, exercise, medication. It’s seemingly random which makes it that much scarier. If I could get anyone’s input it would certainly ease my mind. Today I may have to go back under the scope and get my stomach stretched again.

    For the past month I have been really sick and no one seems to know what’s wrong with me. I have been throwing up mucus about 5 times a day, where before I would dry heave a bit or spit up if I didn’t eat enough and drank too much Water on an empty stomach. I have begun to regret getting my gastric sleeve. It’s so depressing and sometimes I feel like my doctors aren’t even listening to me.

    Has anyone else dealt with this? Or is anyone else dealing with this?

    You may have just saved me so much pain and heart ache. I could not be more grateful for you. I will ask them to do that today when I have my appointment. I’ve been feeling like I’m going crazy. Honestly, thank you so much, you’re a life saver.

    1st, I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I hope they figure out what it is soon.
    2nd-the only thought going through my head reading your post was "gallbladder". Do you still have a gallbladder? Have they checked it? When my gallbladder decided to act up, my symptoms did not present as a "typical" gallbladder. I had sort of a pressure in the center of my chest (not usual) and I would vomit foamy mucous. I felt overall sick, sort of like I had the flu, and I lived on crackers and tea for a long time. I think it took them almost 6 months to figure out what it was and only then it was because I insisted that they check it. They kept passing me off as "esophageal spasms" and at one point put me on valium. They told me it was to relax the muscles, then the next time, they had the audacity to say I had mental problems!
    Doctors not listening is a real thing. But be persistent. Ask questions. Demand answers.
    Good luck!

    I’m exactly the same. I can’t get anything down, even Water, without it coming back up.
