Question:
I am vomiting, I need help

Hello- I am having a post op problem and I am hoping that someone can help, I am desperate! I have been extremely nauseated since my surgery (open RNY on 12-18-01) and recently (last 2 weeks) I have been vomiting every day; many times a day. I am not able to keep food or liquids down. I am taking anti vomiting supositories and I have had several tests to check for a leak and other complications. I am going in for an upper GI tomorrow. I am not able to get in my protein or my vitmains due to this problem. I am at the end of my rope with this and would appreciate ANY suggestions. Thank you so much for your reply! Anji    — Anji E.

Anji, I can sure sympathize with you as I have suffered with constant nausea, vomiting for almost the entire 14 months post op.. I have been scoped numerous times, had a stenotic stoma dilated more than once.. I am dealing with a rare complication to RNY surgery.. an atonic pouch.. Atonic...meaning without tone... or no motility to move food.. I wish you the best of luck.. if the UGI doesnt show the problem, insist on an upper endoscopy... stenoses can be fixed easily and you feel so much better afterwards... Hugs,
