I am kind of baffled as to what is going on with me. I was three months post op on dec 20th. I never had an issue with food after surgery. I did liquids for the first week then jumped right into solid foods after that with no issues. Yesterday I took two bites of food and I got tummy pain. Ive eaten turkey before with no problem. Around 830pm I knew I needed to eat so I tried string cheese (I eat it All the time) and got the pain again so didnt finish it. So I dont eat anything today but try and get liquids down but I get a very uncomfortable fullness with water. I took a drink of water and then immediately vomited up about 12 oz of stomach bile. I am totally worried at this point because Ive never thrown up bile. Im feeling hungry so I have a very small bite of lean ground beef and pain and nausia hit again Could this just be a stomach bug? Have anyone else experienced anything like this months post op? I would really appreciate you input!

Be sure to let your doc know. I'm not sure how long the risk of a leak is but since u were fine then this came up all the sudden does seem viral.

Have you been taking your acid reducer? Sounds like you're getting a build up of bile and it's trying to get out. Maybe call the surgeon's office and ask if it doesn't get any better soon. Good luck

I actually ran out of my perscription acid reducer so I have been taking a cheap over the counter one with tums. The burning is terrible and I am constantly getting little bubbles in my throat. I will have to have my surgeon send in a new perscription for the Acid reducer and see if that is the problem. Thank you!

Would not taking a strong enough acid reducer cause the pain I get while eating???

You sound exactly like I did a week ago, but I ended up finding an acid reducer that works and got an endoscopy. They ended up dilating my esophagus and poor pain is gone when I eat. You might have tightening around the opening to your sleeve. As for the bile, as for actigall, it's a prescription to decrease the amount of bile produced and prevents gallstones. Good luck!

Thanks so much for the info Karissa!!

Just an update-- the pain was definitely from too much stomach acid. Got back on the prevacid and within 2 days I had no more pain Sweet relief!!
