We should all know that with gastric bypass surgery NSAIDS can NEVER be taken again as they can cause bleeding ulcers. Additionally, during my pre-op education I didn’t understand the ramifications of time released medication and potential dosage absorption issues. (These facts were disclosed but until I was effected, I didn’t get it.) After surgery it took forever for my time-released medication to kick in and I had issues with two other medications. I was able to switch to a similar medication that isn’t time-released with the option for a second daily dose. As for the other medications that lost their full effectiveness or I could not tolerate due to nausea, my dosages were split from once per day to multiple smaller dosages throughout the day. I hope that this helps someone have a good discussion with their doctors and bypass surgeon.

I had both a hiatal hernia repair and a gastric bypass on August 15,2019. Just had a three month follow up and have lost 33 pounds. My surgeon said based on where I started with a BMI of 35.5 10 pounds per month was right on schedule. It sounds like you’re doing well! Getting used to not drinking water with my meals yet getting enough water has been a big change and challenge! I use peppermint Altoids for nausea when I eat too much or something that doesn’t sit well in my pouch! I hope you continue to be blessed!

How are you doing now?

I had nausea and peppermint items are great for helping in nausea relief. I couldn’t stand ginger items but I now always have a tin of peppermint Altoids with me. I hope you’re able to find relief soon!

I had both a gastric bypass and a hiatal hernia repaired the same day. If you’re considering surgery in the DFW area I can highly recommend my doctor. His name is Dr. Bagshahi (pronounced Bag-sha-he) he and his staff are amazing and treat your overall health. I believe that they do offer payment plans including Carecredit which can be applied for online. His website and YouTube channel are very helpful. He is with DFWWeightlisssurger.com

Congratulations! Unfortunately gas may increase as a lingering result of the surgery and the smell may not be nice to say the least. I am 3 months post op and just started taking Phazyme for gas and Devrom for the smell. Both were recommended by my physician and are over the counter. BTW I had both a gastric bypass and a hiatal hernia repaired the same day. If you’re considering surgery in the DFW area I can highly recommend my doctor.
