Still vomiting

Before my RNY, I lost 62 pounds. Now, 5 months post-op, I've dropped a total of 130 pounds. Very happy about this, obviously. But I vomit 6-7 times daily. Does anyone else have this problem? My surgeon keeps telling me that it's nothing to be concerned about, but it's getting very old! My social life has ground to a halt because I never know when I'm going to be sick. (It's very awkward to excuse yourself to go vomit. My friends know this about me, even if I don't say anything.)

I've never heard of anyone vomiting so much post-op unless there is a stricture.  Has your surgeon checked for narrowing of the stoma?  Are you tracking what you're eating to see if there is a connection between when or what you eat and when you do or do not vomit?

That does not seem normal. Is your food getting stuck? I would want to figure out why I was vomiting.

you should ask for a GI consult. with someone that knows your doctor, it will make a huge difference. You might need a EDG to see how itall looks . I was diagnosed with acute gastritis and laege marginal ulcer. its been a hard road

Vomiting at this stage is not normal. Call your doctor again and tell how frequently you are having problems. If he is not concerned I would see a gastroenterologist then. You need an EGD to see what is going on.
