Hi! New to the board - 7 wks post op



Recommended Posts

Hey, I got my surgery 7 wks ago. I healed up and got my first fill at 4 weeks, then went back 2 wks later since it was not tight enough.

For about 2 days after the second fill I could not keep anything but about two bites down. I just "spat up" (no real stomach acid, just stuck in my throat). Then half way through the third day I was able to eat a little more, but then really threw up for the first time. Ever since that I've been able to eat about 1 cup of food, and have not had any problems with it getting stuck. I get full fast and stop eating, so that is good, it is just that the sudden change rather worried me. Could I have I damaged/loosened something when I threw up? It feels like it opened it up or something and I'm hoping that is not bad...

Throwing up once isn't going to damage anything. What most people do after throwing up is go back to liquids for a day to let your pouch rest. Then you should be fine again. Eating solids after throwing up can just lead to throwing up again since you may have gotten a bit swollen. Just take it easy.
