gastric reflux, aka barfing or whatever...

[Guest guest]

This whole line of discussion has me fascinated. I have to tell you, I

have not been able to barf since I had my RNY. Cannot tell you why this

might be, but last night, for instance, I was feeling awful. Suddenly

got that unmistakable feeling that it was time to run for the great

white telephone. Got there, feeling wretched, and my stomach heaved

many times over, but absolutely nothing came up. Nada. No contents, no

bile, no secretions or substances of any sort or description.

I don't get it. How come some of us seem to be perpetual pukers,

whereas others (I'm assuming I'm not the only weirdo freak like this in

the universe) can't do it at all? Yet another of the great

imponderables, I suppose.

This surgery, RNY, has been a cure for my GERD/acid reflux, not ONE problem

since my sugery of June 7, 2001. Not even mild heartburn, yipppeee! Also, I

have NEVER thrown up once since my surgery, only felt like I wanted to once when

some dry, baked fish was stuck in my stoma! Yuck, but I didn't throw up.

Take care,

You are not the only one....I can't throw up either. I feel like need to

sometimes but it just doesn't happen.

OK.........I am in total fear of responding to this for fear of starting

another lively " discussion " shall we call it? My guess would be one of two

things.....1) you body just isn't in favor of puking.....plan and

simple......or 2) you cannot physically puke. I have read that sometimes

after WLS a narrowing of the esophagus (near the entrance to the pouch) can

become narrower, I think it was either because of trauma or the

repositioning of the pouch, just moving it around and such. This would make

sense seeing my 5 year old niece who had a fundalication(sp) wrap.......aka:

greatly reducing that opening so she CAN'T puke or have acid reflux is also

physically unable to vomit.....the poor thing just sits there and

wretches.....NOT a pretty sight!!!!!! Just a thought...... P.

Awwww , your poor niece. How awful for her. I guess I am fortunate

in that I can puke......if you want to call that being fortunate. LOL At

times I THINK it is fortunate......especially when I eat that ONE darn

bite that is TOO MANY! It never FAILS!! Doesn't happen often but when it

does........it comes back UP! Actually, it CLAWS it's way OUT.

Yeah..it is funny that we now look at puking as privelage Once in a

great while when I re-try rice or broccoli I will know within minutes that

it ain't gonna happen and I will excuse myself.......my sister or hubby just

freak......they just can't believe that I am gonna go in there and MAKE

myself puke.......I can't believe that they think I should sit there in

misery for 30 minutes waiting until " IT " realizes it isn't stickin

around.........weird world we live in hey??? P
