I am scheduled for surgery Monday the 16th, and I am naturally a bit nervous about it. One thing that is concerning me is the fear of post op nausea due to anesthesia and the fear of continued nausea and vomiting for a long time.

I experienced terrible morning sickness when I was pregnant. It continued all day for 5 months. I was sick around 20 times a day, and it was such a terrible struggle to get through each day.

I was reading in some material given to me by my doctor that said people who had morning sickness when they were pregnant had a greater chance of having post op nausea and continued nausea. No!! I really hope this is not the case. I am self pay and so worried about extra days in the hospital due to nausea.

Has anyone had terrible morning sickness, but had no nausea post vsg? Just hoping someone can reassure me.

Thanks!

It is possible to experience this - get with your doctor and have a prescription on hand and filled and waiting on you at home...also consider the patches for motion sickness, I spoke to a lady who used those and it worked for her.

I do already have a prescription for zofran... just hoping I won't need it, or hoping at least it works! Thanks for your reply!

I had the sleeve done 3-23-12...I have been sick/nausea/vomiting ever since, and I had terrible morning sickness..could be a coincidence but who knows?! All I know is right now I feel like I have ruined my life:-( and to boot I have a 9 year old son to take care of...HELP!

I have never been pregnant, so I can't comment on the morning sickness, but I did have some nausea in the hospital post-op. They were great about rotating nausea medications and when I asked for a nausea medication script they sent me home with some liquid phenergan, which works wonders, and makes it super easy to sleep.

I have some good news for you. I had horrible nausea my entire pregnancy (every day). I won't call it morning sickness because it seemed to be all day. I was sleeved on 6/5 & haven't had one bout of nausea or vomiting at all. I fully expected to have some but so far so good!
