    Default chronic vomiting

    Hi everyone,
    I'm looking for anyone who has had a chronic vomiting problem following gastric sleeve surgery. My surgery was March, 2017 and I immediately began vomiting following consumption of most foods on an almost daily basis. We tried reflux meds as I had reflux disease prior to surgery, had endoscopies which found nothing, but did dilation anyway as my opening was narrow. In January, 2020, I had hernia repair and the vomiting got much worse where I had to stop working as a professor. The vomiting was sometimes unpredictable and it occurred several times per day. I changed surgeons. In Sept 2020, I was admitted to the hospital as I was unable to eat anything at all and was vomiting acid/bile. My new surgeon did a surgery and found that my sleeve had detached, moved up, folded over, and was twisted. He smoothed out and reattached the sleeve My vomiting improved to a very small degree. As of today, I am able to eat only very few foods without vomiting-oatmeal, yogurt, crackers, cookies, and ice cream. I get protein from protein water. My doctors have no idea what is causing the vomiting and are unaware of similar cases. I'm writing to find out if anyone out there has or is having a similar experience. I'm desperate. Thinking my next step may be the Mayo Clinic. Can anyone help?

    Default Re: chronic vomiting

    Hi, I am sorry to hear you are having this issue. I have not experienced vomiting on this level but I do have occasions when I vomit everything I have eaten. I think it happens after I have eaten a bit too much or if I have alcohol. I had to learn to really watch my portions and I really don't drink much alcohol anymore due to the vomiting. I do think I have an ulcer as a result of the sleeve surgery. That's another issue. I hope you are able to find a resolution soon.
