PLEASE someone tell me how long this nausea lasts....

I was sleeved on 2.15, I had no nausea for almost two weeks and then Friday BAM! I am on Zofran but it doesn't help completely. I was having no problems getting my protein and water in and then BAM I want to puke every time I drink something. I am still on liquids for another 3 days.

Out of the many side effects I could have, this was one I didn't want. I am miserable. Can anyone shed some light as to how long I may have this or share your experience? Thanks

Have you contacted your surgeon? There may be something else you can take that would help. Do you take a PPI? The stomach acid will make me feel yuck if I don't take one... even though I don't get actual reflux.

Not every nausea medication works the same for everyone.

Contact your surgeon and let him/her know what's going on. I'm sure there will be something that will help you.

Feel better and keep posted on how you're feeling.

Prayers going up for you!

  • @ liannatx - Yes I am on a PPI, have been for 15 years (Nexium). I have contacted my surgeons office and have not heard back yet, should hear something tomorrow though.
  • I'm going to hate going back to work tomorrow with this problem. Thanks for your reply.

Hi animal lover,

I personally only experienced nausea in hospital after my surgery and thats it. I am 25 days out. I have experienced a bit of heartburn and an "uncomfortable" feeling when I have eaten something that doesnt agree with me or eaten more than I should have but not to the point of wanting to vomit.

Definately contact your surgeon.

Hope it resolves soon.

I had the same issue. Nausea hit around 3-4 weeks out. Similar, I was on Nexium long term preop, it was the only effective medication. Post op, surgeon put me on Protonix. I used Nexium for a few days when I was out of Protonix, and was amazed, no where near as effective as Protonix now! Might be time to change up the PPI. Good luck!

The flue is going around ..I'm eight days out and from day one I've been on protonix. Hyoscyamine 0.125 and ondansetron HCl 4 mg milk of mag at night. And four gas x strips if needed. I have a months worth of hyoscyine and fifteen day ondansetron. I take both twice day.

I've never tried this, but my daughter swears that sniffing Rubbing Alcohol will knock nausea completely out. Just a quick whiff during her 2nd delivery stopped her from vomiting. It's worth a try! Hope you feel better soon!!!
