Question:
9 months ago i had gastric bypass 1/7/05 and its really hard to

eat anything without getting air or gas caught in my throat/windpipe area, so sometimes i just say forget it and eat whatever i can cause im tired of vomiting it up just to breathe better or feel normal, has this happened to anyone else?    — kimala (posted on October 31, 2005)

Can you describe this in detail? How much food? what kinds of foods? how are you eating them? When does this unpleasant feeling hit? AFter the first bite? 15 minutes after you're done..... ?

Kimberly, if you mean your stoma makes a gurgling, funny noise, almost like miniature burping, even as you talk? If that's what you mean, that was very normal for me when I ate anything, especially if I took one bite too many. Some times I would go to sleep with the gurgling. I felt that it would never go away because it lasted for such a long time. Now at 2-1/2 years I very rarely get it, only if I really over do it. I am not sure that's what you mean. If you mean throwing up, that usually happens when you overeat or you eat something that your tummy is saying "no" to right now. Missy.

Kimberly... have you discussed this with your surgeon? If you have trouble getting certain things down, you may have a stricture and need your stoma stretched?

I have found that there are some things that I just cannot eat without feeling ill. I cannot tolerate chicken or beef very well, Sometimes I have trouble with eggs. I am ten months out. Just try to see if it happens with the same foods and avoid them. Try again a few mnonths later.
