Throwing up for no reason



Recommended Posts

I'm 7 months post op and for the past month I have woken up three times by extreme nausea and then throwing up. I don't have anything before bedtime so I don't have a full stomach. Nothing comes up other than clear liquid. Last time it happened was yesterday at 4am. Does anyone else go through this?

I'm going through this now and have been hospitalized five times since my surgery on 9/4. They never know the cause and keep putting me on meds, but finally they are thinking it may be my gallbladder. I should have results tomorrow after a scan they ran on my gallbladder today. But definitely talk to your doc and go to ER if u need to. You can get dehydrated easily from not being able to hold down liquids. Good luck to u!

Daveo, Sounds like it might be acid reflux, does the liquid you bring up have an acidic or bitter taste? If it is i'd go and get it checked out.

It could be acid. Are you on a PPI? I would call the doctor and get it checked out.

Since you aren't eating my wife's cooking :), then maybe they should be checking (as previous posters wrote) for too much acid, acid reflux, gallbladder, etc..

Is there a pattern on when this happens (you ate food higher in fat, drank too much regular coffee, a very emotionally stressful day, etc.)?

I hope they find the cause soon.

Thank you all for your comments, I'm going to make an appointment with my doctor and see what it is. I don't take any meds and I don't think it's what I'm eating but I'll see.

      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?
