nausea and dizziness

vjflores · March 16, 2009

HElP! three weeks post op and woke up this morning with the worst nausea and dizziness ever. I was also extremely hot and dry heaved twice. I did let my 1 yr old sleep with us in bed last night and she kicked me in my stomach a few times could she have done something to the band? Anyone else have any problems with dizziness or nausea 3 weeks or more post op?

I doubt the kicking did anything. I had some nasuea a few weeks out. The doc gave me a nasuea patch that went behind my ear. Call your doc and get a script. Remember you body has to get use to having the band there. Its a foreign object. Your body will get use to it eventually. Also if your taking pain meds, that could be the cause of it as well. Make sure you are getting of enough food. Good luck.

Have you been drinking enough Water? Don't let it go on another day without consulting your doc, you don't want to get dehydrated. Good luck.

Hi, i was wandering how you are today. Did you call the doctor? If so what did he say?

I hope you are feeling better.

Yes, that patch is a biiig help, they used it on me right before surgery so I wouldn't get sick from the anesthesia. It's called Transdem Scop or Scopolamine.
