Odd that it's showing up that late. normally people get the frothies by the 6th or 7th week. But then nothing seems to be "normal" for everyone, eh? Personally, if I were having to throw up almost everyday I'd call my surgeon, if for no other reason than comfort-factor to assure yourself that everything's alright and that you don't have a stricture or something. Hope it gets better soon!

I have had a few periods of "frothing". Typically they seem to coincide when I have a sinus infection or allergies (which fill my pouch with mucus, filling me up and often causing a little puking). I have checked in with my surgeon when the frothing has been associated with cramping or abdominal pain. Early on, I was on Previcid to reduce acid (which worked); a second time, I was put on Nexium but experienced significant cramping from it. Overall, though, it is annoying, but it passes. Good luck.
