Forceful vomiting with the sleeve

[Superfluous 19]

I am pre-sleeve but a concern I have (I haven't had the chance to ask the doctor about this yet) is that I am a VERY forceful vomiter. By that I mean, when I get a stomach bug and have to vomit, I regularly pull abdominal muscles, burst blood vessels in my face and eyes, and sometimes (*shudder*) poo while vomiting. I've always been this way.

My concern is, once I've healed from the surgery, will my forceful vomiting be an issue for my new, tiny stomach?

I'm the same way and never thought to ask this. I also pull muscles sneezing and coughing so forcefully.

You poor thing! I really do not know what to tell you about it except that you probably do need to tell your dr your history. But truthfully, I only vomitted once in a year and it was while I was in the hospital and the meds i was on made me sick. I am actually not a forceful vomiter but I do vomit very loudly! haha When I was pregnant with my children, my sweet and thoughtful husband would ask if I could be a little quieter when I threw up! haha

Well I hope it all works out and lets pray that there wont be many times that you will have to vomit! Have a great day!

I worried about blowing out staples, as I threw up quite a bit for the first two days. Due to medications and such, I always get sick after surgery. My surgeon just laughed a bit and he said he "ties good knots". You won't have much to toss up, so even if you are a violent tosser upper...you don't have a lot to toss and you may not toss at all. A lot of people don't. I only got sick one other time, because I ate too fast and even then it's not like a flu bug toss. I think it's more like the door is closed so the food is making it's way back out..It almost feels like it's from your chest in a weird way. I would just be up front with the concerns, they have medications to help with the nausea, maybe he/she can give you a bit more than most.
