I had a RNY over 4 years ago. For the last 6 months I have been very nauseous most days. Somedays I can’t do much. It’s not anyone thing like the smell of food or what I eat.
I have been to my PCP, a Gastrologist & a naturopath. No one can figure anything out. I have had a barium swallow test & an EDG. Everything looks normal.
I’m not comfortable going back to my surgeon because he’s not a bariatric surgeon. I had the surgery for medical reasons not related to obesity. He told me to get all my info from the internet. I don’t think he knows how much different info is on the internet for gastric bypass!

Has this happened to anyone else? If so what was wrong & did you do?

Could you be dehydrated? That can cause nausea. Also, see an ENT in case it is an inner ear/balance issue. Might also be a food that used to be fine no longer agrees with you. You could try a food journal to see if there is a correlation with a particular food. It could also be anxiety/stress.

There are so many things it could be. Hopefully you will find a solution soon!

Maybe you should see a bariatric surgeon for a consult In addition to all the other specializes mentioned.

I'm three years out and still get nauseous occasionally, but I can trace it directly to overeating or eating the wrong foods. I'm definitely not nauseous all the time. I second the suggestion that you go to a bariatric surgeon, since your original doctor was not one. "Get your information from the internet" does not seem like sound medical advice to me.

I didn’t even think about an ENT, but I am hopefully seeing mine tomorrow to do a balloon sinuplasty (still waiting for insurance approval for that?).
I’m not having any vertigo issues at this time & I know all about vertigo!!!
