Can I do damage vomiting?

[marfar7 1,533]

Not sure why I can't learn by now but I guess I don't. I vomit 2-4x a week, most likely from eating too quickly. Can I do damage? I'm 5 months post op bypass revision from sleeve due to severe revision. 4 lbs from 135 goal. Not sure why I can't learn but I don't. Just curious...

Well vomiting is never a really good thing, doesn't help your healing pouch, irritates your esophagus and upper throat, a bad habit to get into. And I would think your electolytes get fouled up too. If you mean, can you rip up your stomach pouch once it's healed, I'm not quite sure. Will it dialate it so it's baggy, saggy, and needs reduced in size, that's a question for your own Bariatric Team. We are all learners still in the Weight Wars, not professionals, nor do we make such a claim.

Yes excessive vomiting is extremely damaging. HCl is no joke. The damage it does to your esophagus, teeth, gums is tremendous. The damage that occurs from the violent contractions is also serious. You might want to consider speaking to your surgeon, very soon.

There's no HCL, it's literally all just food I have just eaten, no real vomit. I haven't had acid up since my bypass revision (had it for reflux revision, becuz of severe reflux - I had 2 straight years of vomiting stomach acid 2-4x a week - it was doing damage to my esophagus). I haven't had reflux ONCE in 5 months - yeah, me! Now, it's literally just the food I have just eaten, no acid at all. And there's no violent contractions at all, it just comes up easy peasy.

Is this still problematic?
