Veteran sleevers...HELP. 6 weeks out, nausea starting again?



Recommended Posts

Okay, so I'm six weeks out, the nausea (for the most part) had passed but now it's happening ALL day for the past couple of days...is this normal?? I have been living off of Zofran and/or Phenergan and I haven't really needed either since about 1-2 weeks out. Even Water is making me nauseated.

I am experiencing exactly the same thing. I'm six weeks out today. I was nauseous weeks 2-4 then it got better, now sick again. It's been hard to get much down for past few days dye to nausea. So I'm interested in this thread as well. Thx!!

Here I am to save the day!!!!!!! NOT! :P Ummm.... Not sure why if you were doing good that it changed so suddenly... The usually suspects would be a stricture but it could also be just part of the fun of healing. I never threw up but for the first two months I would get times where I just felt nauseous on certain days... See no help :D

I would call the doc tomorrow. It's probably nothing serious but anytime recovery goes backwards rather than forward, it's a food idea to ping them anyway. Sorry you're not feeling good :(

Are you eating healthily? Have you increased fat or sugar or carbs or something that your body's not liking maybe?

I pretty much eat the SAME diet daily...there are a few variations, but mostly the same stuff. I do know the PA told me that nausea could be gallbladder issues, BUT i'm not hurting at all. Yesterday and today, I have hardly been able to eat much of anything - between 300-500 calories and that is FORCING myself to eat.

Difficult is that patient who doesn't call when she needs to, waits until she gets worse, and then bothers her doc on a Sunday by needing to be admitted :P

I am 5 months out and I have been nauseous for a few weeks now. No pain or other symptoms. Surgeon thinks gall bladder but ultrasound showed no stones. So now I am going for a HIDA scan (looking for sludge?).

Try eating something salty when nauseous -- it's the only thing that helps me. Salty broth, salt on eggs or potatoes, even cottage cheese. Try to avoid fat. I started eating potato chips, then popcorn -- both trigger foods for me so I had to give those up. Now I just live with the nausea until we figure out the problem.

Wouldn't it be kinda soon for me to have gallstones though?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
