Hi all!

I'm day 17 post op and down 37 pounds! ! I'm thrilled at my loss! But, having a really hard time with nausea and coughing up stomach bile. I often get a metallic taste in my mouth. I am trying my BEST to get all my Water and Protein shakes down and have good days and not so good days. But, this constant nausea that started back up after a week is making me lose my appetite. Does it ever go away??

I had a bad case of this. I ended up in the hospital for dehydration. You may need to call your surgeon and tell them that you need a stronger PPI. The gerd was the problem with me. It helped me 100% . Good luck!

Thanks NewNana

How did they determine your dehydration? Did you get put on IV drip? Also, has yours gone and does it come back?

They did lab work and the fact that I didn't pee only twice a day didn't make them happy. I got 2 bags of IV fluids infused quickly. They gave me the swallow test and found that the valve in the bottom of my stomach was slow to release. Problably fron throwing up it was inflamed. They gave me a stronger PPI and it has been great.
