Anyone experience long bouts of nausea?



Recommended Posts

I went to my doctor today and was pretty shocked. She didn't want to do anything after I told her my surgery was in Mexico. Kept saying try to call them in Mexico. She put me on phenergan and wants me to come back Friday for IV Fluids. Didn't even look at my incisions. But I left there and bought me a of ice tea. Half sweet and half unsweet. Its the first time I've had anything with sugar in it. I was able to drink the entire thing over about 2 hours and actually feel a little better. Maybe something to do with sugar, I don't know. I'm going to try really hard tomorrow and look into some of those samples mentioned.

Ruthi - hope it's nothing serious - be sure and let us know. I was going to call you in the morning, but I think I'll wait and call you tomorrow on my way home from work.

Kauser - I think I'd find another doctor if your doctor wouldn't give you the time of day - that's just crazy! Glad to hear the tea made you feel better ... maybe it was the sugar! Keep drinking it if you're able to get it down and get yourself hydrated! Keep us posted on how you're doing!

Kauser, get some of those samples so you can find something that works. I am sure that because I liked my Protein Drinks, and was able to get in a lot of Protein right from the beginning, it helped my recovery.

I second that you need to get a new doctor. If she is blowing you off just because you sought treatment in Mexico she is not a good doctor. She also should have looked at your incisions, esp if you are not feeling well, I mean hello? What if you had nasty looking incisions and needed antibiotics fast?

That makes 3, get another doctor, that one couldnt have been more unprofessional if they tried. You are better off with someone else.

I think I'd have asked her, too, if she remembered the oath she took when she got her MD license ... HELLO!!!:confused::001_tongue:

      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?
