How far out are you?

I'd say take any zofran/phenergen you have left over and contact your dr. That early on you could still damage your suture line. (Early retching partially caused my leak) if you don't have an antiemetic get into see a dr ASAP, maybe even the ER. Better safe than sorry.

Good luck and keep us posted!

I am 2 weeks out. I cannot take my zofran because I am on ciprofloxacin for my kidney infection. And gravol gets vomited up.

Any peppermints or ginger around? You need an antiemetic and try to keep up the fluids. I know at this point you're probably just dry heaving which is dangerous for the new stomach. Any other symptoms?

Call your doctor's after hours line or go to the ER if you are seriously ill, don't get on the stupid internet for pete's sake!

Take care of you and do as previous poster suggested.....I perfer the ER for safety concerns...... Let us know how your doing....

So it turned out that the food I ate was causing the vomiting. The doctor Gave me some iv antiemetics in the ER. ONCE I purged my stomach completely, I was instantly fine. The doctors concern is that my stoma was blocked, but he assured me that if in a few more hours if it had not gotten better, he would get an endoscopy. He says he sees this all the time. After 7 hours, I was finally relieved. My endoscopy in the end showed nothing but a stomach lining irritation. So I was told.

Good! Glad you got checked out

What do people who had the surgery in Mexico do when events like this happen?

Are they just on their own? Do they make contact with bariatric surgeons in the US? Rely on a primary care physician? Ask people on a message board what they should do?

Generally they go to the ER.

I had my surgery in Mexico. I made sure to have a primary care doctor who would be willing to follow me whenever I got back. She has dobr wonderfully. She follows my blood work and my Surgeon gave me all his contact info before I left so I can call him and she can call him for consults.
