Has anyone else developed bulimia after the bypass? I throw up almost every meal and have for the past 7 months. I've seen a GI dr and he couldn't find anything wrong with me so he suggested I see a therapist.

I have had all kinds of tests done by a GI surgeon. He's the one that suggested bulimia.

Sorry, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Sounds like he’s trying to pawn you off bc he can’t get to the bottom of what’s wrong

Honestly, I don't think you should tell people that you have bulimia. Just because your body is so nauseous after you eat that you vomit, does not mean that you have bulimia. It's more likely severe GERD or something like that. If you aren't doing it on purpose, you can't classify it as bulimia.

I know what it is but what i'm experiencing, bulimia, is the closest thing to the description.

You will need to be diagnosed as Bulimic by a mental health professional. It's not in your GI surgeon's field to diagnose an eating disorder.

Either way, This is about your health. It wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion to see if there is a medical reason or have a mental health specialist diagnose an eating disorder.

Wish you the best in resolving this

I have to agree with the folks saying this probably isn't Bulimia, more like a possible butthole Dr. It's the classic move. When in doubt, blame the patient!

Your Dr is trying to say nothing physically wrong with you. It's ALL in your head. Not surgery related. You are doing this to yourself.

Do you really think that is true?

Yea my next step is to get a food allergy test completed.

So @ Krizwilluams, did you get your allergy test for foods done, or is it still in the booking stage?
