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?

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
