Severe Pain Before and After Vomiting

[PlanetHopper 86]

Does anyone experience SEVERE pain before and after vomiting? I would like to know if this happens to anyone else that is more than 4 weeks post-op. The first time this happened at 10 weeks post-op, I thought I had a leak or a rupture. I had VSG and I do not experience dumping syndrome. I was eating peanuts and then choked. I then starting experiencing EXTREME pain. I didn't know what was happening and I was in so much pain, I went to the ER and then vomit while I was there. I again experienced the horrible pain and vomiting today (11 weeks post-op)

Unfortunately, I have PCS'ed (military move) away from my surgeon and I don't see my new surgeon until Wednesday. I will definitely be telling them about this but I am looking for some insight.

I wouldn't eat any peanuts for one thing. Your system probably can't handle it. I was told that nuts is a no no after RNY. I would go back to post op foods until you find out and stay hydrated.

I honestly don't think that sounds normal? But we all experience pain in different ways? Glad you're seeing your doc on Wed. I still to this day have difficulty handling peanuts and Peanut Butter. Dunno why. I do get terrible esophageal spasm and nausea with that food.

Hm, maybe that was the reason. I did cough really hard before the pain started though. I will steer clear from them for now until I hear what this new surgeon has to say about it.

Thank you for your insight. I will be sure to explain each instance and see what they say

depends on how far out you are. I can eat them with no problem. Early out, though, yes - they advise you to avoid nuts. Although I wouldn't be surprised if there may be some people who can never eat them. But as a general rule, no - a know a lot of RNY'ers who can (and do) eat them. Just not soon after surgery.
