Help!

I have the stomach flu and I cannot vomit! Both of my kids had a 24 hour stomach bug this week and I guess it's my turn. I'm 8 months post op rny and this is my first time sick. I'm going through all the motions... uncontrolled heaving,gagging, the whole mess....but not one time has any vomit came up. Anyone else experience trouble vomiting post op???

  • I can't vomit, I just retch and heave!! It's painful and I feel as if my head is going to burst open!! I never did vomit easily but now nothing!

  • Yes I did at first but I had strictures and I can vomit now. It isn't fun for sure. Are you keeping up on your fluids? Please try hard as it doesn't take long to get dehydrated. I hope you feel better

  • I can vomit. I have a handful of times. I do know others who can't, though. Boy I hope you start feeling better soon - that's got to be miserable!

It's been hard to keep up on fluids. But I've felt much better today and got atleast 65 Oz in so I think I'm getting back to normal. I'd have never thought surgery would take away the ability to vomit! I'd say I'm glad cause I've always hating vomiting but I think the lack of was worse. The heaving was terrible.
