I had the same problem.  I couldn't keep anything down including water.  I talked to my doctor and he said I had had a condition called stomal stenosis where the opening to my stomach was extremely small.  They went in and inserted a small balloon to expand the opening and I felt much better after that.

I've been there.  I got to spend 6 hours in the emergency room getting an iv to rehydrate me.  I was a little mad that the doctor didn't warn me about this condition but I guess there's so many problems/symptoms that they can't go over them all.  Everybody thought I was just whining about how much water I had to drink.  They all felt bad when it turned out that I had a condition causing the problem.  Hope you're feeling better.

I threw up everything when I had an abcess at 4 weeks out.  You might want to get a Ct of your abdomen.  Do you have any hard spots near your incisions? Do you have a low grade fever at night?

Start: 487 lbs (8/07) Lost 81 lbs pre op on South Beach. 406 lbs at surgery (6/08). 179 post op, by 2011. I  lost 308 lbs. Gained 98 while pregnant (2012-13) lost all but 25. My goal is to be 179 again!
