Maybe I'm posting in the wrong area, sorry I'm tired. I am 5 days post op and I'm having terrible nausea in the middle of the night. I feel good all day but I wake up in the middle of the night sweating and nauseous. Sometimes I'll have a bowel movement. Has anyone else dealt with this? I know gastric bypass was something I needed to do but this makes me regret having it. :(

Dear Newbie,

I'm sorry about your nausea, but want you to know that from what I experienced, it's a normal reaction as your tummy learns to take in your nutrition in a whole new way.

I haven't heard from many RNYers that don't have some doubts during the first month or two. Be gentle with yourself, give it some time, and I think, and hope, that you'll feel much better soon.

Marin

ps I follow this site off and on, but this is actually the first time I've written anything. I think you're very brave to share your question at such an early stage in the process.

Good Luck!

I can't thank you enough for your reply. I am awkward with people in real life and pretty scared of a support group. Thought this might me a support group for me. Today was a better day.

First few weeks are the hardest. I am 12 years out & still glad I did it. When I had the surgery I couldn't eat solid food for 2 weeks then 2 weeks soft food. Stay away from microwaved meat even just warmed up. I can still throw up from dry meat getting stuck. Wish you the best and never regret getting healthier.

How are you doing? Any better? Have you been able to talk with the dr?

I dealt with really bad nausea for a while, still deal with it sometimes and I'm really sorry! Nausea meds can help. It might also be related to pain.

I think some nausea is normal. Especially like another poster said, the stomach is having to relearn everything.

Hang in there

Hey there. Much better. I'm now 7 weeks out and doing great. I had weird nausea for a few days just in the middle of the night but I think my biggest issue is that you don't really know what to expect after this surgery. Don't know how your personal body is going to react and I just got scared that something was wrong.

Glad the nausea passed!

It is hard to know because it can be so different for so many people. That is part of why I like this app. It helps me to figure out some things and from people who have gone through this before me.

Best of everything to you

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
