The first thing is do is check for a fever. Do you have one? Then call your surgeon's office.

I don't have a fever & don't feel sick at all

Is there a chance you're pregnant?

THEIR IS NO CHANCE OF PREGNANCY. LOL

I hope you have called your doctor..."every morning" is not a good thing...something is a miss here.... please let us know what you find out! Feel better soon.

So...I get the dry heaves if I go too long without Water. I get them if I wait too long between waking up and having my Breakfast shake. I get them if I haven't brushed my teeth...

I get them easily...always have.

Does any of this sound like what your maybe going threw?

I'm going to say maybe you take Meds at night and wake up with them on empty stomach is making you sick? I get sick if I take Meds at night or before I eat either one.

I called & left a message for my surgeon. I will also try drinking as soon as I wake up like gomekast mentioned. Hopefully it's nothing serious, as I wait for a callback.

This happened to me once. It scared me to death. My surgeon put me on a ppi. The overproduction of acid on my stomach caused it in my case. Hope you feel better.

What is ppi?

@lovely- it's a ?proton inhibitor. It helps your sleeve not produce as much acid.

Basically is like a Pepcid
