8 days post op... Scared cause I threw up



Recommended Posts

I have been doing great, moved on to full liquids today. I thought a tablespoon of Peanut Butter would be OK.... Wrong. It made me so nauseated, and I threw up bout an hour later . I'm scared cause I threw up, would that damage my stomach?? It is sore now

A lot of people throw up after the surgery. You should be fine. Just give it a while before you try Peanut Butter again and make sure you are taking very small bites.

Yeah, it's normal to feel sore after vomiting, especially within the first month. I would use ice packs to help sooth the pain. You have to remember. 80% of your stomach was removed. And you have tons of stitches in your nw tummy and @ your incision sites.

As long as you aren't repeatedly throwing up you should be fine. Just be extra gentle with your tummy until it stops hurting. Sometimes reintroducing foods back in takes a while. It may not like it now, but a month from now be okay with it.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
