Being as I have three little kids and we do have the pukes pass thru our house at least once a year, how does that work when you only have a pouch and not a stomach?

Can I get a free pass on the stomach virus forever??

Great question because it would be awful dry heaving for 24+ hours (based on the little bit of food we have in our bellies).

No pass on stomach flu. If you are beyond the "Weight Loss" phase and into maintenance, there might be a single bright spot. You may lose 5 to 10 additional pounds at the end and if you try hard, you might add this to your total weight loss.

i would like to know this too, i have vomited a few times from eating wrong thing or my stomach not liking something and i tell you it's 10 times better than pre op - no yuky stomach acid, just saliva and the actual food a bit munched up.

So I am sure with 3 young kids also it's only a matter of time until i get ill but i won't be as scared of vomiting as i'd take dry wrenching and a bit of vomit over disgusting smelling and tasting high volume stuff per op any day!
