If you have nausea this could help



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I've been nauseous for the past week. I'll be 6 weeks post-op in 2 days. I called the nurse so we can try to figure out what was causing the nausea. At first, I thought it was my Vitamins, so the nurse told me to

stop them and see if the nausea would go away. It didn't. It always started after lunch and got worse throughout

the day. The worst was in the evening. I kept feeling like I was about to throw up, but only saliva would come

out (sorry for being so gross!). At the end of the worst episode, I felt something like heartburn. So, the next

day, I tried Tums, lunch time and supper time and my nausea got better. The day after that, I took my regular

antacid pill in the morning and also took one before supper and no nausea at all. I called the nurse today to let

her know I thought it was acid reflux so we are still testing it out, but it looks like that's what it is. So

heartburn is not always a side effect because I didn't have that, I just had bad nausea and the salivating. I feel

much better now and wanted to share in case someone else was going through this and didn't know what was causing

the nausea. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. Acid reflux does some very strange things to people, and it can effect us all in varying ways.

      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?
