Can vomiting rip stitches?

June 1, 2017
Asked By:MommyWolf in Germantown, MD

I'm 8 days out from having had my tummy tuck with muscle repair and have thrown up several times today. It's incredibly painful, but aside from that I'm wondering if I run a risk of damaging the internal work on my muscles...is vomiting enough to ruin that? Would it be obvious if I did damage something?
