So since week 5 post op I have been vomiting. Mostly dry heaving but also vomiting bile. This does not happen when I eat or drink. It's so random. Today I dry heaved on 3 separate occasions which has been the worst so far. My surgeon seems to think I have a problem with my diaphragm so he's asked my GP to prescribe me some tablets to hopefully help. I don't get nauseous all of a sudden I just get this feeling and I have to go to the toilet immediately. I have an extremely sore throats all the time but no heartburn. This started happening after I was taken off my gas tablets. Anyone experienced this? It's to tiring and scary at the same time because it happens when I drive and I have to pull over immediately.

Sounds like gas or overeating. Why were you taken off gas tablets?

I had this problem when I tried to eat to much. I learned quick not to do it.

Funny enough I'm not eating enough because of the whole palaver. Surgeon is concerned about it. I have to force myself to eat. I'm hoping it will sort itself out. Thanks guys.

I was only prescribe gas tablets for 5 weeks. I believe it's gas as well. Time will tell.

I have had nausea with this as well as my friend. We are surgically just a couple weeks apart. I asked for a scapolsmine patch, small doses of Ativan and I have an essential oil diffuser and I use lemon or peppermint essential oils and let them permeate the air. I was desperate to do anything that I could to rid the nausea. I'm a nurse so I know what to ask for. It has helped my friend and me and I'm so glad. I have also seen this combination work with my cancer patients.

The tablets I have been prescribed is for GERD and ulcers. I woke up got out of bed dry heave. Took the tablets ate a 1/3 of a Protein bar. Went for a walk. Came home dry heave. I'm desperate for this to stop.

Yesterday I used gripe Water and it really helped, and U can take it as often as u need I remembered I used to give to my kids when they were babies and it's instant relief. Anyone try the Vitamin patch? I cannot take the powdered Vitamins.

I bought some Powerade and that seem to have done the trick!! I'm so thirsty it's the only thing I can get down me. Will have to do for a few days until this all sorts out. I've had the worse day today. I stopped counting after dry heaving 6 times today.

If you think it is gas you can buy simethicone (Gas X) over the counter.
