Your stomach is healing it is swollen and with the stomach healing you could get a leak if you continue to have the heaves retching and actual vomitting. I only had two episodes so I did not have your situation. But when I went for my first visit my surgeon was so upset I did not call and tell him about the vomitting he said that he needs to know those things. They need to do everything to prevent that. So that's why I am trying to stress the importance of calling the surgeon. Good luck to you.
