I've read a lot on here about people throwing up and I'm curious because when I initially met with my surgeon and we were discussing sleeve vs lap band he said there wasn't throwing up with the sleeve? So what causes it? Is it a pretty normal occurrence? Thanks for any clarification- not trying to be gross

If you eat too soon and don't follow the diet - or you eat when your healed and over eat

I'm 7 weeks post op and have never thrown up or been nauseous, not even in the hospital.

I'm almost 6 months post-op and I've never thrown up (due to the sleeve) however I can say when I had the stomach flu throwing up was totally different now vs. pre-op!

I threw up a lot right after surgery and I was throwing up blood! You couldn't have told me I wasn't going to die. Every time I moved, barf! They switched my pain meds and I stopped! Did leak test the following day and all was good. No puking since then. I'm only 8 days post-op so no telling what the future holds.

In my case, I am vomit farely regularly. Had stricture and needed dilation and will have another next week. Sometimes it happens when you stomach is too small or their is scar tissue that narrows the stomach/esophogus or pyloris(in my case).
