Day 5 Post Sleeve and still nauseous!

[jessinoz4 15]

I was sleeved on April 22 nd, and am currently day 5 post op. I have had severe nausea lasting up to now and it is quite debilitating. Has anyone else had this problem? I am not sure what to do - Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi there, I was sleeved Tuesday the 23rd and only had a few moments of nausea while in the hospital. Like after getting up and moving around or trying to swallow a pill. That was hard and really almost lost it with the pill. Maybe you can get a script from your doctor for some zofran. That will help a ton with the nausea and you will feel better. I am still very sore and tender. Don't move around to fast. Can't wait to feel kinda normal.

Get some Zofran! Doc should have sent you home with some. It will help with nausea tremendously...

I struggled with nausea for the first month off and on... Get a some pills from the Dr. It will really be a life saver... Not to worry it will go away! Hope you feel better soon! Take Good Care

I've heard with this surgery you can have nausea for a couple months. I had it bad in the hospital and was on 4 different nausea meds cause my esophagus was swollen so nothing was going down. The doctor sent me home with a scopalomine patch and a script for it as well. Its a patch that goes behind your ear that you change every 3 days. If you don't have a script for something i would definitely call the doctor you don't want to get dehydrated cause you'll end up back at the hospital.

Sleeved Oct 30th and I still have periods of nausea but it is SO much better than before. Hang in there because it DOES get better.

Are you using pain meds? It took me years to figure I was allergic to codeine it made debilitating nausea. I'd suggest asking your doc for a different pain med.

zofran is awesome. Phennegrin isn't too bad if you don't mind being drowsy.

Seriosly look into the pain meds.

What state do you live in? I had a completely different medical issue in August and I couldn't take pain meds but had to b/c it hurt so bad. My friend made me pot brownies and it was a life saver. It really helped me with the nausea. I don't do recreational drugs but my friend talked me into it. It didn't take much talking into-I was desperate to stop the pain and the nausea.

I've never seen so many anti nausea pills/medicine in my life. I had the patch behind my ear the night prior to surgery, I took a pill 3 hours before surgery, was loaded up in the hospital on regular intervals and then needed 2 separate drips of something stronger. Plus I have a huge box of zofran and suppositories as needed at home LOL They should definitely give you a prescription. Just know the patch behind the ear gives very bad dry mouth.

I was sleeved on April 19th and was severly nausiated for the next five days. I finally felt better on the sixth day. It just finally subsided. Hang in there it will get better.

Thanks guys, for all of your posts. I am glad to hear that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Today, the nausea has been a bit better - I'm trying to always keep some sort of drink at my side so hopefully the feelings of nausea came from that "hollow-gut" feeling when you're hungry. *shrugs*

That did the trick for me too. Doctor tried couple of meds that did not work, my friend who went through chemo told me that the pot brownie was her life saver. So, got a hold of one and my stomach felt so much better the tightness and pain all relaxed. I tried this 2 months back and I still use it time to time to help. I do not get the "munchie" effect, it just settles it down enough to eat. By my weight loss you can tell I have not over eaten! My doctor at Stanford also agreed to use the pot brownie..his words "What ever gets you eating..DO IT!"

Exactly, it's a shame it's so taboo because it really can help.

You can get glycerin drops too! I love them
