I am about a week or two out from 3 months post surgery. Since about the first week or so of solids (at 5 weeks) I have been having these episodes about 2-3 times per week where I get nauseous about an hour after eating. Sometimes just nausea, sometimes dry heaves, some times "vurping" where I feel it up in my throat. It does not seem to happen with any particular food or anything, and sometimes it occurs in the daytime, though more frequently during the night. I also sometimes get extreme pain up in my chest after eating for about an hour, then it goes away. That has gotten a little better at least, but it is still there and it never happens at the same time as the nausea episodes.

I did see my doctor a few weeks back, and he said it could be gallbladder, could be restriction from my sleeve still. He sent me for an ultrasound which showed I did have gallstones, but he wanted me to take a "wait and see" stance for now and see if things improved. While the chest pain seems better, i am still having the nausea episodes- last night was so miserable I am supposed to see my doctor again soon, but I am anxious. Has anyone else ever experienced something similar?

The extreme pain for about an hour after eating dies sound like gallbladder. I used to get attacks for years and never knew what it was. It's painful, I'd get flushed, sometime vomit. Eventually it just goes away and all is good- till it happens again. I'm so glad my gall bladder is out now!!

So last night not only did I end up w/the nasusea but I also had some pretty painful abdominals cramps... i was so scared, almost went to ER... then they stopped after an hour. Calling my doctor now.

Sure enough it is gallbladder. I will have surgery next Thursday to remove it, hope I can wait that long...

Good luck on your gallbladder surgery! I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks! Had my surgery last Thursday, it was easy in that it was a day surgery, but it seemed like it has been a slightly more painful recovery. They did not use my previous scars but instead went through my belly button and closed it with surgical glue. Lol not a pretty site, tons of bruising in the area. But so far no more attacks at lest!
