Hi all,

This site has been nothing but a blessing to me, so thank you all for reading and commenting!

I have another mtg w/ my surgeon on Wednesday (in 2 days), but this morning and two mornings prior I've had to vomit. The past few mornings I've been extremely nauseous and not sure why. It's hard to get the 64 oz of Water & 50-60 grams of Protein on a regular day, much less a day where I'm nauseous! The last two times I vomitted were a 5-10 hours after taking some sort of tylenol (liquid or chewable). Not sure if that's the trend, but anyone else feel this? I called my doc to see if they could prescribe me some nausea meds... anyone know of a good one that works (small pill or liquid preferred)?

I also burp alot and have been facing the burps alll the time ever since day 1 post op.

Anyone? Suggestions??

Thank you!

Definitely get back into your doctor ASAP. At a month post op, you definitely shouldn't still be having surgery related nausea. Plus vomiting with the band is dangerous so you definitely need something to stop it.

Not to get too personal, but could you be pregnant? I know it's unlikely but when you said morning vomiting it was my first thought.

Best wishes!

promethazine hci 25mg works great for me I always have on hand med's sometime upset my stomach. hope you feel better soon.

agree with missy, this is something for your surgeon to know and evaluate how to proceed...also, i have anti naus med on hand just in case...something you may want to see if your doctor can give you a rx for.

hope you feel better but def call dr and let them know.

I would definitely see your doctor! It just doesn't sound band related to me?! However, I'm not a doctor! Is the tylenol you take a prescription? If it's Tylenol with codeine it could make you nauseous. I don't take prescription pain killers for that reason. Anti nausea meds are great, but you first have to find out why your nauseous. You don't want to just cover a symptom to a possible problem. I really hope you start feeling better! There is nothing worse that nausea. Please keep us posted on how your doing!

You all are the best! I don't believe it's pregnancy since I've had normal cycles the past 2 months.. but then again there's those shows like 'I never knew I was pregnant', so I suppose you can never be too safe. I do think it might be the tylenol. I just called my doc to have then prescribe me something, but they know the situation at hand. And I'll meet with him on Wednesday, so I'll see how tomorrow morning goes with the nausea and no taking of tylenol.

I'm praying the band didn't slip or that there's no infection or no flu or anything crazy. Thank you all for your support and suggestions! Much love!

If the Tylenol was responsible for your upset stomach, you would likely be vomiting closer to when you are taking it.

Through it all, try to make it a priority to stay properly hydrated, as dehydration does make one nauseous and my require hospitalization if not dealt with in a timely manner.

I hope you feel better fast!

Turns out my doc has ordered an Upper GI for me... but that won't be done until a week from now on 2/20 and I don't meet with him until a week after the fact on 2/27. I don't think they see this as being serious.... do I have a choice but to go to the ER? I'm not entirely sure... I just know that I burp a lot, haven't been able to consume too much Water and have been nauseous most of the day... wondering if I'm not dehydrated. And now i feel like I have a frog in my throat.

The doc wants me off my multi-vit and to start taking my prilosec again... thinks it might be acid reflux, but I don't feel any relief.

I think I'm going to stop off at Urgent Care tomorrow, not sure they'll be able to help me... perhaps a trip to the ER is best? I just don't want to over-react.

Thoughts??
