Hello everyone. I need your help. I already had my surgery about 3 months ago and are feeling great at this point but, I have my wife who had hers about 3 1/2 weeks ago and she's still having a hard time. She's experiencing bad nausea, stomach discomfort and some vomiting. She's hardly eating anything because of how she's feeling. She has contacted her surgeon and he prescribed some nausea medication but, even with that she is feeling the same. She has an appointment set to see him next Monday. What I need help with is knowing if feeling this way is normal? I myself didn't go through that but, has anyone experienced this?

Yes, I had the same problems ...I can not eat and drink very little.
I did not want to eat because the nausea.At the end of the 3rd week I wake up very dizzy and weak...pain and I went to the ER .They give some "bariatric packs"(vitamins , Protein and minerals).I was there for the whole day and when I return home all was different.I begin to eat and drink better....
The nausea comes and go but now I can eat more and drink what I need!
All of us are different and when I felt super bad was because I was not eating and drinking enough. Take her to her doctor!

We went to emergency last night but, they didn't find anything wrong. I just called the surgeons office so we'll see what he says tomorrow. Thank you for your advice.

That is exactly how she has been feeling. Last night we where in the emergency room and they didn't find anything wrong. I just called the surgeons office and left him a message so that first thing in the morning we get to speak to him about the issue once again. Unfortunately his office is over 4 hours away so it's not like just a drive to his office around the corner but, she does have an appointment with him Monday so maybe we'll need to make it for sooner. I just needed to know that maybe some people have actually gone through it like she has, that way it'll give me some assurance that is somewhat normal.

I hope she's feeling better. I had a few problems with nausea and bloating. They didn't find anything wrong with the actual surgery sites but I was badly constipated. I didn't have any feeling of pain like I needed to go or that anything was there. I didn't think of it because I was hardly eating anything. But there was an impacted mass further up that just didn't move so I couldn't eat anything else on top. Just a thought keep a record of how often she goes. It can be solved quite easily.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
