Was anyone nauseous before surgery?



Recommended Posts

So I met with my doctor last week and he mentioned I need to take my sinus meds. If I don't my sinuses will drain into the stomach causing nausea and will make me want to vomit. I've been nauseous ever since and even vomited twice. I've heard it's very painful to vomit after surgery. Anyone feel this way? Any suggestions?

I've had the sinus drainage issue, even had it post-op. Yes, the snot pouring dow the back of your throat does make you a bit sickly feeling.

It may be a bit paindful to vomit immediatly post-op but subsides for most people after a few weeks or months as you and your tummy heal.

It may sound strage but I find it far easier to puke now then before. I rarely have to but when I do typically it's just once and very fast and is all over. Your stomach is just so much smaller that there is not much to vomit. Pre-op when I had to barf I would get the dry heaves and have a lot of discomfort. Now I don't.

      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?
