    HELP!

    Almost 7 weeks post op. Been having serious nausea/vomit issues since last Thursday. Now first let me say this is something thats happened in the past. About a month ago ( I even posted about it but got no responses) I had the same issue for a few days but it passed. This time its worse. It's the I can't decide if I'm hungry or want to throw up kind of feeling. I thought at first maybe it was because I'd skipped a snack.. but since then its gotten worse and even after I eat something I still feel the nausea. Anyone else have this issue? Called the doctor and now just waiting for a call back from the nurse.

    Nausea

    I am 22 days post-surgery. For the last several days all the sudden anytime I put anything down (food, water) I get nauseated. I’m not sure if I’m just drinking/eating too fast or what’s going on but I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue. It goes away after 20-30 minute and I haven’t thrown up yet. Is that normal? Am I doing something wrong? I’d like to try and make sure it’s not something I’m doing wrong before I call my doctor and go in and it be a minor issue.

    Nausea

    I've been on pureed for about a week now. The only thing I can think of is that maybe I'm not pureeing enough.
  5. Does anyone else have issues taking vitamins? I have the Celebrate Bariatric Multi-vitamin chewables. Every time I take one I literally get nauseous and start throwing up like 3-4 minutes later. This isn't the first time I've had this problem with multi-vitamins. I've had this problem with various vitamins in the past before I ever thought about surgery. Has anyone else ever had this problem and does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this from happening?

    Vitamin Help!

    Thanks. I will try the Centrum chewables. How many times do you take it a day? I have separate iron and calcium that I'm taking also.
  7. Hi everyone. I am almost 3 days post-op. The gas in my body is terribly uncomfortable but I'm walking every 2 hours for 10-15 minutes. My problem is I'm having a really hard time getting fluids down. Even with the tiniest sip the worst/most painful air bubbles come back up. Last night it was almost uncontrollable and I ended up dry heaving which was one of the most painful experiences of my life. And I sip as slowly as possible. My question is should that get better once the gas is gone? I assume so but I guess I just need some reassurance. This first 24 hours home has been miserable and I'm starting to have the 'maybe this was a mistake' thoughts.
  8. Hello everyone. I’m a newbie here and this is my first post. I’m so thrilled. I was approved today for my loan to have gastric sleeve surgery. I have wanted to have this surgery for several years now and have just been unable to afford it and my insurance will not cover. Anyway, I am located in the Houston Texas area and I wanted to ask the people who were/are self-pay what the price of their surgery was and who their doctor was. I was going to go with Doctor Robert Marvin because I’d been told and I’d read a few places that his price was 11,000 but when I called today they said that was not the case and its 13,400. Just wondering if there is anyone in Houston do does it cheaper. Thanks so much for the help.
