Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Hae you tried cutting back on the amount of food? Maybe more like 4- 5 oz instead of 6-8? You might want to see a gastrointerologist and be scoped to see if there are any abnormalities in the pouch, such as a stricture which could be causing you problems. Of all things, stop the pattern which causes vomiting. If you are purging twice a day, it is without any question unhealthy for you. Even once a day is too much. Occasionally most post-ops will although I have never in 14 months. The damage to your digestive tract could be extensive. Cut back to smaller meals. Go to protein shakes for a while. Soft mushy foods. But please do something to stop the cycle which is so deadly. > ok please answer if anyone has had this problem , ok 6 yrs ago i had 3 rolls of staples and a gastric ring put in i weigh 400 pounds i have lost 200 pounds but i have alot of skin really bad .. i have had a little boy not two yrs from surgery... he is 3 now every sence he was born i vomit like 2 times a day or more depends ... its not over eating cause i only eat between 6-8oz ..i havent really lost any more weigh but i havent gained any either .. i talked to my regular doctor about it and he says to me its a side affect of the bypass .my doctor that did my surgery is no longer doing it and has sence moved to a different state.. i am trying to get an appiontment with a doctor here that does it he told me that thats not the way its saposto be and i am wondering if he has to go in if i should or could get the other by pass done? > > > Angie > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
