Do you still vomit a year after surgery



Recommended Posts

youre a year or more out from surgery and throwing up multiple times or at all even? You need to see your surgeon. No its definitely not normal.

Well actually when I feel like something is going to make me sick I make myself throw up. Is that normal?

No. That's the beginning of an eating disorder. And I say that with concern. I am three and a half years out and I still throw up once or twice a week. There is really no rhyme or reason, it just happens. I don't MAKE it happen, though, no matter how badly I want it to at times. I could and it would be a relief, but I am afraid that it would trigger the desire to do something every time I am uncomfortable instead of figuring out the root of the problem.

You need to figure out the root of the problem. Mine is usually one bite too many, or one bite not chewed well enough. I don't tolerate rice, Pasta or potatoes, but I try once in awhile for no good reason. I also don't tolerate plain Water at times and I occasionally I try to chug it anyways which is stupid. I keep hoping but...

Talk to your surgeon and possibly a counselor. Don't make throwing up a habit.

I still throw up like 2 to 3 times a day

No. That is not normal. Please talk to your surgeon about this.

Is there a physical reason (eating too much, too fast, taking too large bites, not chewing thoroughly enough) or is it habit?

This sounds like it could be bulimia. Please, talk to your surgeon.

I just feel full really quick and I feel something and I just have to go to the bathroom stick my finger in my mouth and I feel better after. It only happens when I eat hot foods really.

Sounds like you're eating too fast. Room temperature to warm foods would clearly be ideal as well.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
