I had it too with bubbly foamy vomit and chest pain. My Dr said it I was esophageal spasms and kept me in the hospital 2 extra days on pain meds until it passed. After about 5 days post surgery I was fine with small sips of fluid.

I know how you feel and how painful it is but ti will pass. He sent me home with muscle relaxers for my esophagus and they really helped.

 

Yes, he wants me to come to his office following the xrays. Yesterday he said the pain was associated with me still being swollen on the inside. I'm not sure but I really want to find out what's going on

Below is some more information from another memeber's posting.  Hope this helps...

This is the list I got from Medipass of doctors on their network for Bariatric surgery... This is only a list for the Miami area.  I will paste a copy here:

BARIATRIC SURGEONS (GASTRIC BYPASS)
Dr. Jorge Luis Sosa 305-558-0411
Dr. Juan Fleites 305-856-1002
Dr. Nestor De La Cruz Munoz 305-856-4385
Dr. Eric Valladares 305-558-0411

Dr Jorge Luis Sosa and Juan Fleites accepts Medicaid (with the following manage care HMO or Medipass) and they both do gastric bypass surgeries and the lap band surgeries. Dr Nelson de la Cruz Munoz does not accept Medicaid and the client will be responsible for his fees, however he uses Medicaid for the hospital fees and he also does the lapband surgery.

Hope this helps anyone who had questions about doctors that take Medicaid here in Miami. I am going to try to get one for Broward county as well. Will update if they send it to me.
 

I'm a week post op from having the FOBI POUCH and I've been having severe pain in my chest when I go to eat or drink anything. I've been vomiting up clear liquid all day long and it has tiny bubbles.  This is so painful.  Please let me know if anyone has experienced this in the past. Dr. Jawad is sending me for x-rays in the morning.  I'm so scared and don't know what to do.  It hurts so bad when I go to drink or digest anything.  It's a sharp pain when I swallow and then I fill like my chest expands with air.  Never had a heart attack but that's what it feels like to me. Please help with any advice.

Thanks,

Yolanda
