How dangerous is vomiting or dry heaves 2 years post-Nissen fundoplication?

Two things I noticed when my Vagus Nerve was damaged were loss of gag reflex and really loud tinnitus that changed from high to low pitch frequencies. There are other barometers and tests to check but those two are classics.

My gag reflex is very strong, always has been, is one of the reasons I have been having difficulty getting food down and keeping it down. I developed severe hearing loss last time due to the labyrinthitis, but thank goodness it was not permanent. I fortunately have not lost it this time.

Hi Penguinthe2nd,

Welcome to the Healing Well Wrapped Club! This is an old thread that hasn't been active since 2012. Wow...you're lucky to have made it 13 years without vomiting! I seem to have a stomach bug about once a year! I was wrapped in February 2009, and had my first vomiting episode about a year later.

The thing I do is make sure I always have anti-nausea meds with me wherever I go! I have Zofran for mild nausea issues, and Compazine suppositories for all out vomiting bugs. Each time I've been sick I threw up unexpectedly. I immediately used a Compazine suppository and it kept me from repeated vomiting episodes, which aren't a good idea. Actually, when I've had a bad bug, I've needed the repeat doses to avoid some serious vomiting, which can be very hard on a wrap.

Glad you've joined the forum, and thanks for your encouragement and reassurances! Even though scaredtogetsick's thread is no longer active, somebody else will read your post and be helped by your input.

I'm going to lock this thread now, but please continue to post on other active threads, or even start your own! Thanks again!

Best wishes,
Denise
