Question:
When is the vomitting going to stop?
I am 9 weeks post-op and I am still having problems getting sick. I eat my food and then I start to feel sick and vomit. When is it ever going to stop? Please help!! — Crystal D. (posted on June 4, 2002)

Hi I am not sure if this helps but I was getting sick alot when eating. I
was getting to the point that i did not want to eat . I found that if i
cut all foods up even my fruit into very small pieces and ate slow and
chewed well all went down and stayed down . I no longer drink a half hour
before or after . THere are some foods my new tummy just will not take
yet at 8 weeks post ob and that is meat or anything fried or uncooked vegs
. I am doing better with each day . Life is returning to normal finely
:-)))))))) Learn what that new tummy likes and work around those foods

Have you talked to the Doc yet because it sounds to me like you are closing
and need to be stretched. call soon.

I am almost 3 months post op and began vomiting 6 weeks ago. You need to
contact your surgeon. I have to go for an endoscopy tomorrow as they think
there might be an area of narrowing preventing the food from passing
through as it should. Good Luck!

Same thing happened to me. I was doing fine for a few weeks and then
started throwing up. I had the endoscopic dilation done and ate real food
for the first time today and didn't get sick. However, I should tell you.
I had my dilation done last friday. After the procedure I went home, but
was driven by ambulance back to the ER 2 hours later and faced open
surgery. Luckily for me, I was educated about WLS and upon MY suggestions,
I did not have to have surgery. I was lucky everything turned out the way
it did, but I was in a life threatening situation due to the scope making a
little hole inside of me and released free air into my diaphram. Good luck
to you.
