Almost six months out from my gastric sleeve surgery, I’ve been having increased bouts of vomiting/dumping after almost every meal. I’ve tried different foods and each time have almost vomited every meal and have lost an increasing amount of weight, below my target weight(87kg) initially and struggle to maintain my current weight(78kg). Should I be concerned and contact my GP or is it a normal reaction from the surgery?
