I had my sleeve done on Jan. 13, 2011. I have been nauseated from day 1 after surgery. I am on Nexium, Tecta, Stemetil & Motilium, and still nauseated, but my surgeon now thinks my gallbladder needs to come out to fix the nausea.

WOW, it is interesting to see others have the same problem! Sorry... I had my sleeve January 12, 2011... and I have extreme nausea. I describe it as no rhyme or reason, it can occurr before I eat or 3 hours after I eat. There is no connection to the foods that I have ate to when I get nausea attack. I use the word "attack" because it is jus that... I can feel it come on and I run to the bathroom, stomach hurts, I feel like I need to vomit but never have... I am rocking, the room isnt moving it is me rocking motion like I am on a boat. The attacks last anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes...sometimes I even get stomach pains... I notice I burp alot during the attacks... then they pass and I am as good as new.. Very frustrating. I have had this since I was on clear liquid stage an the doc said it would get better. The attacks do not happen as frequently however, 2 months post op and I do still have 1-2 a week. The doc prescribed a medicine to help my body move the food through my stomach... told me to give it a try see if works. I notice no change so I quit taking it.

Hopefully in time it will leave me!

I was very nauseous the first week and my dr gave me meds to take. He prescribed 2 types and it was up to me to choose which one worked for me. One was a tablet that dissolved on my tongue and the other was a suppository (spelling?) but the oral worked for me. Agree with the others keep drinking your fluids and forget about the rest for now. Hope your feeling better soon!

Thanks everyone for your help ....i think the nausea is getting better

      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?
