Throwing up

[gigiharley 0]

I am 3 1/2 weeks post op. I throw up at least once a day. When will this stop???

You shouldn't be throwing up

What are you eating?

Have you spoken to your surgeon yet? If not, you should do.

Throwing up so early and so regularly, can only be doing you harm.

If you're trying to push the envelope on what you're eating - I suggest you stop, go back to clear fluids/protein drinks for a while.

In the meantime, contact your hospital/surgeons office.

Listen to Madam, she is right. It shouldn't be happening at that far out. I had a double stricture post op that lasted my first 3.5 months, and I didn't even throw up that much. I had a different eating plan to accommodate my issue.

Call your nurse and leave a msg. If you're missing your full que, learn yours fast. Runny nose, hiccup, etc are many reported by other members.

That said...I couldn't eat meats until after my issue resolved itself. Now I am fine, but still listen for my single hiccup full alarm.

Best of luck to you. Hope you feel better soon.

I have talked to my dr about this. He said stop eating what is making me throw up but try again in a few days. Also said my post nasal drip may be causing the issue. I just am now scared to eat.

I had throwing up also and I had a stricture. They diolated the area and it has been better until I just ate some chicken

What is a stricture?

A narrowing of the stomach. They go in and try to stretch it with a bougie during an Endoscopy. If that doesn't work they revise it to a RNY

Im two weeks post op and everything I had today keeps coming back up. im afraid of it being a stricture, but could there be another explanation? Even broth is coming back up... Its scary.

Get some medical advice from your surgeon urgently. Look after yourself. Vomiting liquids does not sound normal. Put your mind at rest and make the. Call your surgeon as soon as possible.

I had my surgery on jan 17 . I didnt have a problem with vomiting until just recently. What scares me about the above postings is that I don't even know what a stricture is.

I went in and had the stricture diolated and it was good for a few days and now I am back to throwing up again
