How often have you gotten sick?

Hi,

How often do you throw up since your surgery? I’m very scared- phobic of throwing up. Thanks in advance!!

  • Hi there, I am 8 weeks post op. And I also was so concerned about getting sick, but I have been lucky so far. I really pay attention to my body, and know my limits. Getting sick was one of my biggest

    I’ve thrown up a few times. Mostly because I ate too much and didn’t know my limits It’s very much a mental thing to walk away from a plate that still has food on it. But, if you think you are

I have not vomited in the 16 months since gastric bypass. Nor was I nauseous from the general anesthesia. Thankfully, general anesthesia has never caused me any problems. Hope your surgery went well!

I'm almost 15 months out. I've only vomited a few times.

I just had surgery July 23rd, and vomited that night and early morning. I think it was from a combination of the anesthetic and gas they use for laparoscopy surgery. They sent me home with meds for nausea and gas the next day, which helps a little. I usually have to walk to relieve the pressure.

10 months post op and I still throw up a few time a month at least. I’ve thrown up maybe 30 or more times this year? Not sure- but more than I’ve ever in my whole life combined! Not fun at all. Although when you don’t have stomach acid anymore it’s not as painful.
One week out and I threw up/dry heaved on day 2 in the hospital. After that, they loaded me up on nausea medication for the rest of my stay. Haven’t had any issues at home.
Once, immediately after waking up from surgery.
I would TAKE THAT just to know things will be better afterward! Karma- are You Tuned In?
I never threw up and I never got the foamies. I get dumping syndrome sometimes which manifests as hot flashes and a stomach ache if I eat too much or have too much sugar.
