Who vomits more between RNY and VSG

It's a constant learning process!

This is a "how long is a piece of string" question.  

I still vomit regularly at almost 10 years out but I can point you towards a ton of people who have NEVER vomited.   There is no telling which of the two you would be.   To me, it seems that more people have nausea problems with VSG than RNY, but everything on here is anecdotal and it's often only people who are having problems who post.   For every one of those, there will be thousands who sail through with nothing wrong.

I wouldn't make vomiting a determiner on what surgery to choose.

I don't know the answer to the question. My guess is that there IS no answer and that is why it isn't in the surgeon's information.  I personally didn't throw up a single time until I was 18 months out and ate some dry chicken too quickly.

If it helps, I find that vomiting after RNY is a much less distressing thing than before surgery.  The food doesn't have very far to go so it doesn't cause nearly as much retching and heaving AND you have just a very small amount of acid in your pouch so there is little or none of the acid burn (which is what I found the worst about vomiting). I don't know whether the acid thing applies to throw with a sleeve or not, but I would think so.

Ideally NEVER.

I had the DS and in three plus years, I've "slimed" twice. (as in I ate too much, too fast, and felt like I needed to throw up but never did.

Throwing up is NOT normal or good for you.

I had the VSG andI have thrown up exactly twice.  Once I ate celery way before my stomach was ready to handle it,  the second time I ate too much cornbread.  I should have never even been eating cornbread at that stage in my journey. I can eat a little cornbread now with no problem.

I had VSG, and I have not vomited for any reason related to the surgery.  I did vomit once about 5 months in when I passed a kidney stone, but I don't blame it on VSG- I'm just a wuss :)

Kidney stones always make me vomit :(  

I am 5.67 years out from RNY and have not thrown up since before my surgery.

No answer to this!  Some people vomit a lot. Some almost never.. Some people bring it on themselves by their eating choices. Some don't! I have a band and  I very rarely bring any food back at all! With banded people, if the band is properly adjusted, bringing food back is only when you eat carelessly. ( Caveat, some people cannot achieve the correct level of adjustment). 

Who vomits or not depends more on how and what they eat rather than the procedure.  

Only about half of the RNY patients dump, so you cannot count on that happening, if you look at it as a benefit.  

Instead of who vomits or not, look instead at how your body responds to diets.  Is eating less all that you really need, or do you need that metabolic boost?  What you can answer about yourself can match you up to the best procedure for success.  WLS is not one-size-fits-all.
