Can I do damage vomiting?



Recommended Posts

Not sure why I can't learn by now but I guess I don't. I vomit 2-4x a week, most likely from eating too quickly. Can I do damage? I'm 5 months post op bypass revision from sleeve due to severe revision. 4 lbs from 135 goal. Not sure why I can't learn but I don't. Just curious...

Well vomiting is never a really good thing, doesn't help your healing pouch, irritates your esophagus and upper throat, a bad habit to get into. And I would think your electolytes get fouled up too. If you mean, can you rip up your stomach pouch once it's healed, I'm not quite sure. Will it dialate it so it's baggy, saggy, and needs reduced in size, that's a question for your own Bariatric Team. We are all learners still in the Weight Wars, not professionals, nor do we make such a claim.

Yes excessive vomiting is extremely damaging. HCl is no joke. The damage it does to your esophagus, teeth, gums is tremendous. The damage that occurs from the violent contractions is also serious. You might want to consider speaking to your surgeon, very soon.

There's no HCL, it's literally all just food I have just eaten, no real vomit. I haven't had acid up since my bypass revision (had it for reflux revision, becuz of severe reflux - I had 2 straight years of vomiting stomach acid 2-4x a week - it was doing damage to my esophagus). I haven't had reflux ONCE in 5 months - yeah, me! Now, it's literally just the food I have just eaten, no acid at all. And there's no violent contractions at all, it just comes up easy peasy.

Is this still problematic?

      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!!
