Bariatric binder

Another goodreason for a binder is that when you're fat, your spine is under stress, being pulled out of alignment. It's not uncommon for people with back problems to wear a binder. And if you work with your back, bending over, carrying loads, straining your lats, a binder is essential.

The damage you do when you're young will pay you back when you're old, and will be much more severe.
 
Just to underscore the topic:

The process of vomiting

The process of vomiting involves several phases and steps. These include:
  • Stimulation of the CTZ leading to activation of the motor, parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system
  • Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system leading to increased salivation
  • Deep breathing preceding the actual vomiting to protect the lungs from aspiration
  • Heaving or retching before the actual vomiting
  • Relaxation of the pyloric sphincter that guards the lower end of the stomach to bring up content from the gut
  • The pressure within the abdomen rises and the pressure within the chest or thorax is lowered. The abdominal muscles contract to expel the contents of the stomach
  • Activation of the sympathetic nervous system leads to sweating, palpitation and rapid heart rate

So vomiting is a complex pysical problem, and if you can prevent or lessen it by snugging things up with a binder, mo betta.
 
Its not necessary and you would be perfectly fine without it. However it does help ease some of the pain
