Nervous...Stomach is sick



Recommended Posts

Last night i started feeling ill, so i took it easy and went to lay down. I did but a few hours later I woke up with the chills. I took a hot bath and ended up feeling sick, I coughed a few times but nothing ever came up but then I felt better and went to sleep. Today I still have that sick feeling, could this have somethign to do with the band or do i just have a stomach bug?

Hi Callie,

It could definitely be a stomach bug - they're going around right now. Do you have any phenerghen? It's an anti-nausea suppository. You may want to have your doctor call you in a prescription. I had a 24 hour bug last week, and it didn't get rid of the nausea completely but it did keep me from throwing up.

Of course, go with your instincts. If you think it is more than the flu, call your band doc. Hope you feel better soon!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
