Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Hi my name is Werner-Mosley. I had my MGB on 03 June 03 in Statesville with you and Dr. Cherry. My question is, the other evening after eating Chinese food I vomitted. I have only vomitted one time before post surgery. Both times it was after eating Chinese food.When I was finished and all cleaned up, I noticed many, many purple dots on my neck and under my eyes. This condition stayed with me for over a week. Are these broken blood vessels? I was really concerned. The pain I felt in my chest while vomitting was the most burning I have ever felt in my life from vomitting. Do you know what it could have been? It felt like fire. Thank you Dr. R. Sincerely, Mosley 293.5/223 06/03/03 Statesville P.S. There will be no more Chinese food for me.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 broken blood vessels.... i had purple spots so bad i looked like i had black eyes when i was pregnant (unbelievable morning sickness)! with the malabsorption and all the changes in your body right now i would say that your blood vessels could be a little " weak " until you are eating more and your weight has stabilized and the vitamins have re-established a balance within your body. those vessels around the eyes are pretty delicate in the first place. DONT EAT CHINESE!! LOL and if you do.... eat only a small amount and have something that is easier for you to digest to go with it. MSG sensitivity could be more noticible with that teency tummy... just be careful and avoid chinese for a few months and try again this summer! good luck! be well cathy s in va > Hi my name is Werner-Mosley.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Chinese food does the same thing to me. No matter which, how slow I eat, or how little I eat. I'm beginning to think it is a spice, herb or MSG. In any case, there will be no more chinese for me. I, too, get the broken vessels when I throw up, I think it is just the force and stress on your vessels.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 For me, it is rice in any form. Apparently it swells a lot inside and gets to the capacity of my pouch very quickly. My only nausea came from eating rice! Almost four years out. Pat Re: Re: To Dr. Rutledge Chinese food does the same thing to me. No matter which, how slow I eat, or how little I eat.
