Having Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery June 6 - Few Questions

[mednar 26]

Hi all. I'm having my plication done June 6. According to my doctor, the biggest side effect after surgery is nausea for the first several days after surgery. For that, he's going to have me wear an anti-nausea patch that fits behind my ear for three days afterwards.

He says that other pain afterwards in none to minimal. Has that been your experience as well?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

The doctors all say this,but I for one had absolutely no nausea. I am just over a month out from surgery and have never had nausea once, so I think it depends on the person. I don't think the patch is a bad idea though, just in case. I heard that it really helped a lot of people post surgery. My doc just gave some medicine through the IV for the first 12 hours. Good luck!
