I got my sleeve yesterday and had the worst time trying to keep down the ice chips. I was kept on anti nausea meds the whole time. When I was released today I had to drink & keep down 1 oz of Protein and 3 oz of clears per hour for 3 consecutive hours. I nailed it right away and was sent home. Now that the anti nausea has worn off I can’t keep anything down. Is this normal? What do I do? Now I wish I would’ve stayed a day more like my surgery buddy did

Have a great day!

unfortunately nausea is common with some WLS patients. When I was sent home the Dr. gave me anti nausea medication in case I needed it. Fortunately, I didn't. Contact Dr. and ask to be prescribed anti nausea meds.

Called my doc and he managed to get me some anti nausea meds. The nausea is still there but I’m not puking every time I drink anything. Still taking tiny sips (5-7 sips per ounce) to make sure my sleeve doesn’t get angry again. Thanks for the advice


Have a great day!

Nausea can be completely normal for some. It could also be a side effect from the Anesthesia medicine. I had nausea for about 2 days that wore off gradually and it was from the anesthetic as I've had it in the past with other surgeries. Congrats on your sleeve, this is a new beginning for you.

Thank you, my sleeve (Audrey) and I are getting along great now lol. I named her Audrey after the plant from Little Shop of Horrors because she doesn’t gently grumble when she wants something, she punches my in the chest and demands it.


Have a great day!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
