Almillsips, I just had surgery this morning. I was at a surgical center so I was sent home. i felt nauseated So I got some meds for that. I also have a nausea med patch behind my ear for 3 days. I felt like I was going to regurgitate, but didn't. I wasn't in too much pain from the incisions, but the gas still hurts which I'm actually grateful for at 8 hours post-op. When I got home I took my pain meds, lortab and planned on carafate. I'm allowed 15 ml of lortab. i took it super slow, it tasted so grow. I got down about 9 ml and stopped, I felt nauseas again and had a barf like experience. nothing came up, but my body did the motion and I felt a little better afterwards. I didn't take any more meds at that time. I took 5ml of carafate about an hour ago and 7 ml of lortab just now.

I had no idea I wouldn't be able to hold the entire med dose. I didn't drink Water with it since I can't I guess, even though it tasted gross. I hope I didn't mess my sleeve up already, but I could have "regurgitated-ish" from the nasty taste or nausea. Does/did anyone else have trouble taking entire dose of med at once?

My Dr suggested my Loratab dosage be between 6ml - a max of 10ml. I would think that 15 ml would be a bit much. I have been staying at around 8ml and have been feeling okay with that now. I tried 10ml at the hospital and it made me a bit sick so I tried a little less and that seemed to work better for me. Hope this helps.

I was sleeved on 3/27 and as soon as I woke up I threw up a little bit of blood. Over 3/27 & 3/28 I threw up about 3 more times. Mostly I noticed after using pain meds which increased my nausea. With that being said its not the same type of throwing up that ive had over the years with the stomach flu, etc. There is just a small amount. And I was just so sure that it would hurt to throw up because I just had surgery, but it honestly didnt it was such a small amount and it wasnt like dry heaves or anything. My mom was sleeved in September and she has only threw up 2 times and she says the exact same thing I did that it surprisingly it does not hurt.I just had surgery and would do it over again, it wasnt easy right after I woke up I was very nauseous but after I stayed in the hospital an extra day and given anti nausea meds I am feeling so much better. Hope this helps!

I was sleeved on 3/27 also. Had some major nausea but not much pain. They decided to keep me an extra day to give me some different nausea medicine . Right after surgery I threw up (sorry if TMI) a little bit of blood. And over Tuesday and Wednesday a total of 3 times. Finally after a late nap yesterday evening I woke up and was feeling way better. I could not use the pain pump because that seemed to make the nausea worse. They let me come home this morning 3/29. Hope you feel better soon.
