Had Surgery June 25 Pain



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done this monday and I just stopped dry heaving today. Between the heaving and the gas I was really second guessing myself but I know there is no turning back. This site is wonderful

Oh, no! Feel better. Did they give you any nausea medicine? Are you using GasX? You poor thing. I'm sorry you've had such a tough time.

While in the hosptial I was given prilosec for gas and nausea. My surgeon prescribed omeprazole 20 mg the generic for prilosec and I take this twice daily. Contact your doctor and ask for a prescription for nausea and gas cause you will need daily.

Sorry you feel sick. I can't believe they didnt give you something while in the hospital. They kept my IV loaded with anti-nausea meds, so i didn't feel sick at all.

I had surgery June 25th as well. I used Gas X strips while in hospital and now am using duel action acid controller complete. You can get it at Walmart or Target for about $10. Both things I mentioned have been approved by the bariatric nurse and surgeon, feel better soon.

Just curious, did you have a drain? I'm wondering if there is a connection to nausea and not having a drain to get blood out of your stomach.

I had a drain and no nausea. Also had an IV for 47 hrs, and they kept it pumped with meds. I keep reading about those who hurt so bad, and are so sick. I feel terrible for them! I believe in the power of prayer, worked for me.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
