Sleeved on 12/3/14 having morning nausea issues.



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 12/3/14. Spent two days in the hospital following surgery. Began nausea and vomiting and returned went to the ER 3 days later to be admitted to the hospital where I stayed for 6 days. Scans & xrays showed a small bowel blockage, however, Dr insisted I did not have a blockage because I could go potty. I have another xray scheduled Tues. Dr thinks it may be scar tissue that may have kinked. Currently I'm down 19lbs. Oh, I also had a pretty good sized hernia repaired, so I have been limited to what I can do. My current issue is I still have nausea but only in the mornings. I have a prescription for the nausea but am reluctant to continue taking it as the Dr. wants me to be able to not have to take it. I have issues with the Protein drinks - I'm a texture girl and can feel the powder and grit found in most of the Protein Drinks, I'm also lactose intolerant. I'm feeling pretty low right now emotionally and would appreciate your all's thoughts.

I suggest trying powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and mixing it in a blender. It has a good clean taste and no grit.

I suggest eating a butter cracker before you get up.

1. Any chance you might be pregnant? Just asking.[ i.e., possibly conceived just prior to surgery date?]

2. Also, [not saying you have it, of course, but just an FYI]...people may get a partial bowel obstruction, in which patients may still pass some stool.

I would continue the anti-nausea meds until you see the doc on Tues. Perhaps try some of the RTD shakes. I use CVS whey Protein with almond milk and find that blends really well even if I just shake it up in my shaker bottle.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you all. I picked up a pkg of Atkins to try and I'm going to go get some unjury to try. I feel so low emotionally I just want to cry. I go back to work on Tuesday and I'm nervous about it. My stomach feels like it is quivering a lot of the time. Did any of you get that? And, what did you do about it?

Forgot to answer one of your questions - not pregnant, that I know for sure.

Some people experience stomach spasms. If you think you are having that your doctor can prescribe something for it. Mostly just try to rest and gets your fluids in.

      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?
