When was your surgery? Mine was Jan 14 and im wondering if the nausea EVER goes away. Its hard for me to stomach the Water and shakes, or anything for that matter.

What IS a stricture?

[gottagetfit 15]

my surgery was December 7th. a stricture is a narrowing of your esophagus that is corrected by having a scope and them using a balloon type thing to stretch it out. from what I've read, it's kinda common..

Mine did get better after a few wks. I did have to get a daytime nausea medicine and a nighttime, and that seem to do the trick

SD: 10/10/12, Converted from Lapband to RNY, HW (before band) 263, HW (RNY) 230, Preop 219, after surgery 223, CURRENT... 187 YEAH!!!!

I have not had nausea like this since surgery..i mean, i dumped once and food has gotten stuck twice, but this is different. I feel like the thought of having to take my vitamins/pills or eat Protein will make me sick...sux cause i'm feeling hungry...my test is tomorrow, so hopefully i'll find out something..

That sounds like what I went through. The very thought of food and my stomach would do flops. Doc gave me meds for it and it slowly to better. I never had a stricture. My doc said when some people lose the weight their body release certain hormones that will cause the extreme nausea.

I had my surgery Dec. 18th. Things were awesome until two weeks ago. I am constantly nauseated. I am barely eating. Even regular drinks make me that way. The zofran is not helping.

Im almost a yr and a half post op and I still get nauseous. Go buy papaya enzyme and take a couple... they are chewable. AMAZING! I USUALLY have some in the morning and after I eat. Lifesavers!
