ElizabethAnne 40 Posted June 12, 2012 I'm worried. Every day since surgery on June 5, I have been having periods of nausea. It's not as intense as it was right after surgery, but the fact that I feel it every day at odd times throughout the day is worrisome. There doesn't seem to be a pattern, so I don't think it's related to my eating habits. Has anyone else experienced this? I do plan to call my surgeon's NP today, but I am interested in your experiences as well. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpiolady 83 Posted June 12, 2012 I did not have any problems with nausea. My only issue was with port pain and if I lift anything too heavy (like a 5 gallon paint can) I can feel it pull. I am curious what your NP has to say. Hope it gets better! j~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jepegurl 23 Posted June 12, 2012 I have had zero nausea as well, post op 2 months, but I've heard of others who take anti nausea meds for the first week or two after surgery. I guess it's normal then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElizabethAnne 40 Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks, Julie and Jepegurl for your responses. The NP called back and asked a lot of questions. She said she doesn't know for sure, but she wonders if it's related to nasal drainage. She suggested I take my Zyrtec at night instead of in the morning after I return from my walk. She also suggested that I drink a portion of my Protein supplement before I leave for my walk, so I plan to try both of her suggestions. I am very relieved...I was worried my body was rejecting my new band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brokenwings 98 Posted June 13, 2012 I agree with the NP I know the drainage at times usually make me nausated. I have been lucky as of late though before surgery i was nausated every morning but not since surgery. I hope you feel better soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had never noticed the drainage causing this, but the NP said the smaller stomach pouch might be why I am noticing it. Since she pointed this out, I have also noticed that I have some coughing as well when I am walking outside. I am starting to feel like the Zyrtec is no longer effective.

brokenwings 98 Posted June 15, 2012 We use zyzal Both my daughter and I. It is one of the newer ones and is working great for now. I use to be on allegra and it just one day stopped working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElizabethAnne 40 Posted June 15, 2012 We use zyzal Both my daughter and I. It is one of the newer ones and is working great for now. I use to be on allegra and it just one day stopped working. Thanks for the tip. When I was at Walmart this morning, I thought about trying Claritin but decided I should wait until my body is healed before I make any changes. Is it Zyzal available over the counter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
