HELP!

[mokee 588]

I am almost 8 months out. I have been doing very well. About 6 weeks ago I had my first episode of vomiting. But I believe that it was from over eating the 2 times that it happened. Now it happens about once a week and do not know why. Yesterday had an apple with Peanut Butter and a half hour later up it all came. Needless to say I was afraid to eat the rest of the day. I'm eaten this before and never had a problem. The way it happens for me is the nausea hits and I am vomiting in 10 seconds. It is a race to the bathroom.

Please anyone else have this problem?

I am 2 months out and haven't vomited once. Could you have picked up a virus or eaten some bad food? Odd that it would have started now without some non-VSG cause.

Hope you feel better soon.

I am also 8 months out. Vomitting is just a part of my day. It doesn't seem to be related to how much, how fast, the time, the type of food or anything else. I have learned to live with it now. And I live with the reflux also. Even my 7 year old granddaughter says "if Nanna burps 4 times it means she is going to throw up". I think it's just a side effect for some of us.

What has your doctors said about the vomiting? Are they concerned?

My doctor is concerned and has been trying to find a solution. I have tried Nexium etc. But so far the best solution has been to stop eating.

Have not been to dr about this yet. But I can not tolerate this on a regular basis. So sorry yours is so bad. I'm thinking I may have a stricture, but I surely hope not.

Maybe the apple wasn't chewed well enough.

I recently had a virus and had an hour long vomiting session. 4.5months was the first real time of this happening too. I ended up drinking herbal teas and feel better. But I hope you see a physician to get professional answers and let us know the update. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm hoping this isn't normal. I vomited about 5-6x a week following a lapband - haven't vomited once since being sleeved 8 days ago. Sounds very painful. I got used to it also. I could do it in the bushes at a friends house, on the side of the freeway out my car door, in public restrooms. I got pretty proficient with it. Even when it slipped and they totally unfilled me, I continued to vomit 2-4x a week.

I don't think that frequent vomiting is sposed to be normal.

I am 10 weeks out. I haven't vomited once. Hardly even felt nauseated. Learned early that it hurts to overeat, so I am better able to judge when I am full -- and to stop when that happens.

Good luck!

I refused to vomit! I would pound on my chest when the heaving would start the doctors thought I was nuts but it worked the air up and out and stopped the need to vomit.
