Had Duodenal Switch May 12th 2021 terribly nauseous



Recommended Posts

Definitely talk to your dr. I’m only 3 days out and my nausea is getting better. I hope this doesn’t last too long for you!

I would talk to your surgery team. They may be able to prescribe something, although often anti-nausea meds make you sleepy so you wouldn't be able to drive. Just check in with them.

I had low level nausea for 1 1/2 months post surgery with AWFUL stomach gas that my surgeon said was acid reflux but I don't think so. Definitely talk to your surgeon and the dietician that they work with. The meds my surgeon prescribed didn't help at all, but the food intake plan that my dietician came up with did.

Also, I encourage you to listen to your body. Don't rush into eating food if it doesn't make you feel good. I really should have stayed on a liquid diet for a full month after surgery....I think I would have felt so much better if I had.

I had my ds surgery on June 3rd 2020 and still have nausea. My surgeon still prescribes me Zofran 8mg under tongue. Hope this helps.

It took me 4 days to realize, but every time I took my prescription Prilosec I got so nauseated I could cry. Once I stopped the Prilosec, I've not been nauseated again. I think it was a me thing, so not saying you're issue is the same. Just a small possibility in case it helps.

I'm 18 months post op and still occasionally have nausea issues. I just take Ginger Root and the nausea goes away. You can find it in your local Vitamin store.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
