Worried About Link Between Morning Sickness And Post Vsg Nausea



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for surgery Monday the 16th, and I am naturally a bit nervous about it. One thing that is concerning me is the fear of post op nausea due to anesthesia and the fear of continued nausea and vomiting for a long time.

I experienced terrible morning sickness when I was pregnant. It continued all day for 5 months. I was sick around 20 times a day, and it was such a terrible struggle to get through each day.

I was reading in some material given to me by my doctor that said people who had morning sickness when they were pregnant had a greater chance of having post op nausea and continued nausea. No!! I really hope this is not the case. I am self pay and so worried about extra days in the hospital due to nausea.

Has anyone had terrible morning sickness, but had no nausea post vsg? Just hoping someone can reassure me.

Thanks!

It is possible to experience this - get with your doctor and have a prescription on hand and filled and waiting on you at home...also consider the Patches for motion sickness, I spoke to a lady who used those and it worked for her.

I do already have a prescription for zofran... just hoping I won't need it, or hoping at least it works! Thanks for your reply!

I have never been pregnant, so I can't comment on the morning sickness, but I did have some nausea in the hospital post-op. They were great about rotating nausea medications and when I asked for a nausea medication script they sent me home with some liquid phenergan, which works wonders, and makes it super easy to sleep.< /p>

I have some good news for you. I had horrible nausea my entire pregnancy (every day). I won't call it morning sickness because it seemed to be all day. I was sleeved on 6/5 & haven't had one bout of nausea or vomiting at all. I fully expected to have some but so far so good!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
