When I was sleeved (1/28/12) they also performed a hiatal hernia repair. Following the sleeve I initially had a hard time getting food down, and then keeping it down but.this has improved & I'm not vomiting as often now. That being said, last night I took an oxycodone for back pain & it made me super sick. I hadn't eaten much in the day & this was in the middle of the night so when I threw up it was just yellow stomach bile & it was really forceful & exhausting. Today I woke up with pain in the lower throat/top of chest area...almost feels like a ball is stuck in my lower throat. Anyone know if you can pull a muscle when vomiting or what.this might be?? I'm worried I did something that messed up the hernia repair!!

I threw up for the first 24 hours immediately after my surgery, and my surgeon assured me i didn't hurt anything. The scan the following week confirmed it. I doubt this far out you've done anything to hurt the repair. That said...I have NO idea what that ball feeling could be. Maybe someone has had that sensation around here?

Maybe it's reflux. The acid burn in your throat could make it feel that way.
