Vomiting question possible TMI



Recommended Posts

I am close to a month out and until the other day had not bad any nausea/vomiting but it must have been something i ate. The question i have is it anyone else notice that when they got nauseous if you started spitting up a lot of saliva and then when you did vomit there was a good amount of foam?

Sliming or the foamier is quite common after WLS. It usually happens when something is stuck and the body produces extra saliva to try and help it slide through.

With a band I have sometimes had so much foam And slime I feel like a rabid dog

As Elcee said, the saliva is to facilitate your body with the vomiting process. This is something that can happen to those who haven't had WLS, too.

As stated by the other wonderful posters, the Foamies or Slimies. Super common. I used to have to avoid sitting upright too quickly in the AM, instead I would roll to the side and wiggle out of bed at an angle. Something about the 90 degree angle compression on my abdomen caused the nausea. Eventually I was able to get up normally. Very rarely ever get nauseous anymore.

Safe Journey 🎈

      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?
