Throwing up bile every morning



Recommended Posts

I just had my follow appointment almost 2 months out. I told my surgeon I have been throwing up yellow stuff. He responds its bile. As if its normal, I just feel like talking to him is a waste of my time. Ive grown tired of turning to him for anything

Tell him this is seriously concerning you I know I'd be concerned. Just remember your his boss you are payin him to care for you, possibly switch drs maybe? Best of luck let me know how it goes!

:(

He didn't say what is causing it?

Tests he could do?

How to stop it?

I'm so sorry... I know you have been suffering like this for a while...

Can you go see your primary care physician?

Did your surgeon do a liver biopsy as a part of your surgery? If so, maybe the cyst is related?

I was sick and in pain for about 8 hrs, throwing up bile. Went to the emergency room and It turned out I was having a gallbladder attack. They ended up removing my gallbladder and no more problems with that. I would get another doctors opinion asap!

I agree sounds like gallbladder. Have you had yours removed? If not, I would for sure have it checked.

Sounds like your primary doc isn't much better. Get new doctors that actually care about you.

I had a cat scan, actually several, for kidney surgery and I have a cyst on my liver as well. I'm almost ten months out but I assumed it might be from them lifting the liver for surgery. My kidney doctor didn't elaborate on the liver cyst.

Let me know what you find out. But I haven't had any problems like your having :(

When will your blood work be in? Did they take labs?

Did your surgeon run any type of tests??

You have suffered too too long

I am so sorry :(

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
