I am 2 months out, I had GBS surgery on Jan 27 2009, I was fine the first couple of weeks after my surgery, but then the vomiting started, and it has not stopped , since my surgery I have lost over 100 pounds , my doctor has run all the test that he possibly could , and has found nothing, I cannot take any of the vitamins due to this problem, I was just wondering has anyone ever experienced this ? I am kinda getting a little a scared now because I know I need to take those vitamins, but my doc tels me do not worry about them until the vomiting problem is solved, but that problem does not look like it will ever be solved, I am still vomiting 2 and 3 times a day ,any help will be much appreciated.

Sounds like you may need to have an EGD, sound like a stricture to me.  I took reglan for 8 months due to my esophagus issues.  I would dig deep cause you should not be vomiting at all.
Keep us posted.

I can't believe you have lost 100lbs in 2 months, was your Doc concerned about you losing so much, so fast? When I was 5 days out, I caught a stomach bug, horrible, I couldn't even keep ice down. Finally after a week, I was feeling much better. As soon as the bug left, I was still vomiting 2-3 x  a  day, First I would get the white foamies, and then yellow fluid, and if there was still food in there, I lost everything. I think you get the picture. I apologize if that was TMI. Anyway, I saw my Dr. this past Wed, for my 1 month out, my surgery was 2-24,  when I explained it all to her, she said not to worry, some people get this. It is just a over abundance of stomach acids. At first  she was going to give me a prescription for a acid blocker, but then she decided to have me start taking Prilosec, 2 pills daily. I bought them tonight at Target,and I spoke with the Pharmacist, she also agreed that this should do the trick. Call your Doc and see what he/she says, don't try it without checking, because you can't be on certain meds, while taking Prilosec. I hope this has been some help. Good luck,and feel better....Leslie
