Question:
Has anyone had difficulty with nausea and vomiting everything they eat or drink?
I am almost 3 weeks post RNY surg. was doing wonderful on a soft diet till three days ago and I have been throwing up anything I eat or drink. Cant get my protein or liquids to stay down. I take prevacid in the morning and went back on liquids only but this has not helped. — Sherry04-21-2009 (posted on May 12, 2009)

You might have a stricture, you better call you surgeon asap before you get
dehydrated.

Please..do call the Dr. that did the surg. I went thru the very same
thing..so I do understan the feelings. You will dehydrate if you are not
careful! Take care and listen to your body and do as it needs!

Sounds like Stricture to me.... I started getting reflux at night at about
4 weeks out, and then, all of a sudden, I would get a "stuck"
feeling after eating. That's the only way I can describe it. Just
"stuck". And it would just get more and more uncomfortable as I
swallowed saliva. Eventually I would thow up, and I'd wonder where all
that stuff came from, because I knew I hadn't eaten that much.... my PA
diagnosed the stricture at 6 weeks, I had it dilated the next week (a very
painless procedure - was done outpatient, was only there about an hour),
and I've been good since, unless I truly DO overfill my pouch. I'd say
talk to your surgeon, and get the problem fixed, and you'll be back to
being a happy camper!

If you are not keeping food and liquid down it is serious. Call the doctor
right away so that you can have it cheked into. I am always waiting to long
to call and getting yelled at for suffering through something they could
have fixed.

Yes I went thru the same thing and had a stricture. Call your Dr! I
complained and complained and they first found a hernia before finding the
stricture. It almost killed me because they didn't listen to my complaints.
so call now!

I agree with all the other posts. I went through this too. Sounds like a
stricture and you can't put treatment off. I waited over the weekend and
ended up badly dehydrated. Please call right away. The fix is easy and
painless, and you feel better imediately. Good Luck

Are you hungry? Do you have diarrhea? It could also be food poisoning of
a stomach virus. But being just 3 weeks out, this is definitely something
you need to talk to your surgeon about. You may need medication or fluids
to prevent dehydration.
Hope you feel better.
