I have a question about throwing up

[spoiltmom 44]

I almost threw up yesterday. It was different. My mouth got all hot and Water and my stomach felt like something was coming up but nothing ever came. So with the band do you actually throw up?

What do you do when you get a stomach virus with the band? I mean is it okay to throw up all day or will it mess up your band somehow?

That question actually came up at one of the seminars I went to. The surgeon said that if you get a stomach virus and throw up a lot for a day or two will be fine.. no problems with that. Chronic vomitting (like buliemic type) can cause the band to shift.

As far as your wanting to throw up, maybe its just your body adjusting to the changes and maybe a form of healing. I would think that if it happens a lot you should call your doctor just to be sure!

I hear that if you drink or eat too much or too fast it can cause you to throw up, especially in the early stages. Of course if your food isn't chewed well enough it can cause you to throw up as well cause it cant move downward but in your case, you aren't eating food food yet, right.

How are you feeling other then that?

I feel great otherwise. I just drank too much at one time trying to take my meds.

oh yes- I have vomited several times since surgery. It was mostly dry heaves but I did actually throw a small amount up too.
