Hello goat200,

I am sorry to hear about your symptoms and that you are in the hospital.

I could not find a definition for you on WebMD, but found this link which explains the clip is placed and used for control of GI bleeds.

Ask your doctor, nurse or other health care professional to explain the specific location and reason for placement of the clip.

In the meantime, this information, Bleeding in the Digestive Tract , may be helpful.

Please keep us posted to let us know what is causing your vomiting.

Hope you find answers soon,
Elizabeth
