I've heard from a bariatric post op nurse that nausea is one of the worst side effects of the sleeve. She said for even months after surgery. How was everyone's nausea and what did you do for it?

I am a month out and was fine until this last week. Sometimes after I eat, I feel sick and just want to lay down. This only happens when I try something new though.

I never had nausea -- not even when I was in the hospital. I am 19 months out, and my sleeve has never caused me to throw up or feel nauseous. If I eat too much, it feels stuck/painful in my chest. Walking helps with this.

I was thinking of getting one of those motion sickness bracelets just in case for after surgery.

I am six weeks postop and having nausea and some vomitting in the evenings. I think it's a combination of trying new things and drinking too close to eating. Hope it goes away soon.

I had nausea around weeks 6-8. It was almost like vertigo, mostly with movement. I also had a post op infection then though, so its unclear what caused the queasiness. I wore a scopolamine patch until it went away.

It the grand scheme of things, it was an inconvenience more than a big issue. The last poster was right too, sometimes when I try a new food or texture, I feel funky too.

Frankly it's the heartburn I complain about most. I'll be at three months on Sunday and haven't had any nausea lately.

I did ask my doc about a ppi after surgery and he mentioned that this surgery does nothing to help reflux. I think my reflux not is weight related so i am hoping once I start losing weight out will go away. I don't have it all the time just sometimes when i am at work in the middle of the night and i don't take anything for it.

I had nausea in the hospital due to the pain meds... And the swallow tests. I refused to use the pain pump because I couldn't take the nausea.

      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.

      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.
