I'M SO MAD AT MY PRIM CARE PHYS!!!!!!!!!!!--trying to prevent nausea



Recommended Posts

haha, lindata, the stomach thing must be an arkansas thing!!!!...lol

i understand my doctor's rationale, completely, and i would agree that i was more annoyed than actually mad. if i do throw up over the weekend, i will go to the ER. but, my neurologist prescribes phenergan like no tomorrow. too bad she's closed today.

My Pcp prescribes me 90 tablets of Phenegran every 3 months for just in case times. I've never ever had any trouble and if I run out I just call him and he calls it in for me.

Have you been on the meds before bandster?

My band doctor will call things in for me if I need him to. PCP won't call things in. Gyno will (if I tell her I've taken them before, or if she's prescribed them herself to me in the past).

It might be they don't know how you'll react to it, and for example what if the anti-nausea meds cause your blood pressure to rise. If you came to see them, they'd know your blood pressure was high (just an example), and would know not to give you that med, but maybe an alternative, and so on.

So it's hard for them to just prescribe on the phone. Though I try as often as I can, my insurance doesn't pay for me to show up at some of my doctors just for fun :)

My doctors told me it was fine if i threw up when I was sick. They just dont want you throwing up excessively. I called about that also when I had the flu and thats what they told me.

There are some good over the counter choices such as Mylanta which really seems to help my nausea. Ginger tea also works well. I hope you don't get the virus.

thank you for all of your posts. so far so good. unfortunately it appears that my son was not contagious, or if he was it is something that his father and i have already had. lol. i say unfortunately, because he keeps having weird stuff happen, and it really worries me sometimes.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
