I seem to throw up about every other day. Im not sure if I'm not chewing good enough or what. I feel like stuff is caught in my throat. If I haven't had a BM in 3-4days, it makes it worse & anything I eat or drink comes back up. Anyone have advise? Or going through this too? Btw im 2 1/2months out

sometimes people can get strictures that can prevent food from passing appropriately and need to have this addressed with their surgeon. Also, are you passing gas? It is possible that you could have a bowel obstruction which could be causing the vomiting as well, if nothing can get through than it comes back up. Not definitely sure, but I would definitely call our surgeon.

I rarely pass gas, but it happens sometimes. Usually after a BM I can eat fine for a couple days, then I get backed up again. & the cycle starts over.

Do you take any stool softeners or laxatives per your surgeon's recommendation? I would discuss bowel management with your surgeon and get on a regimen to prevent this from occurring.

Have you talked with your surgeon or their NP/PA? My bariatric team has someone on call 24/7. They prefer you contact them first as 90% of symptoms can be managed out of hospital.

Does this happen after you eat everytime?

It happens most of the time unfortunately. I think I'll have to discuss it with him.

If it happens most times after eating you should definitely consult your surgical team.

how did things go? did you speak with your surgeon?

No, I see them this month & plan to ask then

My Dr. is old school but it did work for BM's. He told me to pour 4 oz of Prune juice and mix with 4 oz water. It worked beautifully. I was backed up for almost a week or more...ugh!

It sounds like a stricture to me. Don't wait too long to call them. If you are vomiting that much (as did I about the same time out due to a stricture), you are not getting appropriate nutrients or getting hydrated which makes the constipation worse. The stricture is an easy fix - balloon dilation via endoscopy. It is important to get this checked.
