See your surgeon: Vomiting bile after a gastric bypass is unusual, but does happen. You could be having intermittent symptoms of another bowel obstruction, internal hernia, or intussusception. May need some tests to help make the diagnosis. Ideally, see the surgeon that performed the gastric bypass.
