Unexplained vomiting



Recommended Posts

I got banded 5 yrs ago and lost 30 kilos over 3 yrs - very slow but I was happy. I had some removed so I could enjoy my honeymoon and when I got home I had it refilled. I started to experience unexplained vomiting. It was not a block or a stuck as I know very intimately what that feels like. Instead the vomiting was violent, unpredictable and sudden and often I would not make it to the bathroom. I had a barium swallow but all was ok. I ended up having some Fluid removed as I was so run down and exhausted not to mention highly embarrassed by the vomiting. There were times I would even loose bladder control. I am now back to my pre operative weight and am terrified of getting another fill. I am now considering sleeving. Does anyone else experience this?

Not me. Just wanted to respond. I've read many posts over the years and not one was similar to yours? Has to be a reason why you violently vomit though? What do your doctors think?

No, I am definitely not pregnant. The surgeon had no explanation either. I am now considering a sleeve but I'm terrified that it will happen again and then I'm stuck with this same issue for life. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

It happened to me recently a couple of times, In one occasion I was walking and I cough and suddenly I vomited, no nausea, right in the middle of my living room. I guess I ate a little more than I should eat. But I decided to go back to 6 oz of food and to watch for the sensation of not feeling hungry instead of feeling full.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
