Vomiting

[pdallariva 57]

I am 2.5 years out and have lost 110lbs. I ate dinner tonight and about an hour later I took my medications. Within 60 seconds I threw up but the weird thing is the pills didn’t come out but the food from dinner did. I can’t figure out why. The only thing I can think of is a pocket formed on the side of my stomach that held back either the food or my medication. Looking for answers

Almost sounds like you were built with an internal strainer, doesn't it?

I hope you are feeling better.. I am only 6 weeks out and still learning how to take meds so they dont come back up.

I’m a nurse.

People in the hospital throw up sometimes after taking their pills but the pills do not come up. I cannot offer you a scientific explanation. I can only tell you this is not abnormal in my experience.

Has this happened since you posted? I just heard about this thing called candy Cane Syndrome where some people develop a tiny second pouch a year or so out from surgery that holds food and medicine without letting it get down further.
