I’m 5 months post op Duodenal Switch. For the last week I’ve experienced nausea early in the morning and again in the evening. I’ve thrown up a few times. I haven’t been sick at all since surgery, so I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this months after surgery? Thanks!

Is this after taking Vitamins? Or perhaps a strong caffeine drink on an empty stomach?

I get nausea on occasion, but have yet to actually throw up. Most of the time it's after I eat something that simply doesn't agree with me. The worst was after my nutritionist gave me the green light to add low carb bread back into my diet and I had a low carb wheat bread in which I decided I will NEVER eat wheat bread EVER AGAIN! I had brain surgery in 2017 and the nausea I had after that was the worst I'd ever experienced in my life UNTIL I ate the damn wheat bread! I was told you don't get dumping syndrome after having the DS or DS Loop but 15 minutes after I ate my stomach started to hurt sooooo bad and the nausea was HORRENDOUS! I was sweating and shaking and it was horrible! I took TWO anti-nausea meds and I STILL felt sick! So the sick feeling could be either something you added recently into your diet or from hunger (I get nauseous if I go too long without eating) or if you're female maybe pregnancy? (hopefully not though 'cause that's risky as hell 5 months out)

@TXDSI had a lot of issues the first 9 months. My surgical team was helpful. I’d give yours a call.

      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!!
