yes, I hate the retching, I don't recall the doctor mentioning not being able to vomit, but he also left some other details out. I think my doctor was a used car salesman before he was a doctor. He told me all the benefits of the surgeries, but left out alot of the bad things. I'm glad you haven't regretted the surgery.
