Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 You can get rid of the foam if you take a simethicone tablet. It also helps get rid of air that you swallow when you eat. It was a godsend in the first few days where any added pressure was a bit miserable. Remember the TV commercials - " Won't somebody turn of the bubble machine? " It works quickly and effectively.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 Hi folks, Just wanted to say that my experience with foamy and vomiting came from not having food in my stomach. If I keep food in my stomach there is no foam and I have been able to avoid any sort of vomiting. Don't forget your own chat at http://sandymall.com Blessings to you, Sandy G.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 SC, I had foamy vomit every day for almost 3 months post op then one day it just stopped and never came back. It happened every morning right after I woke up. My stomach was empty. I would feel like crap for a short time afterwards then would be okay the rest of the day.
