Chale1990 0 Posted January 30, 2015 Hey guys i was sleeved on Wednesday and home yesterday. I am having a lot of issues with nausea. Did anyone else experience coughing up flem and feeling as if you need to puke constantly? I have been trying to drink Water and take all my medications but when I do I start coughing everything back up. When does it get better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You definitely don't want to vomit up all your fluids. You need to get down whatever you can. Call soon so they can help you. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimpossible67 608 Posted January 30, 2015 Ah yes, I remember it well. A couple days after surgery and than at month 2 it set in for a month. Ask your surgeon to call in a script for the behind the ear patch or an oral med for nausea. This to shall pass. It's just part of the the sleeves charm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HereComesTheSun 13 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) I am two days out and had extreme nausea too. I believe it is because of the anesthesia and pain meds I had at the hospital. I haven't needed pain meds since I got home. Today, I was a little queasy, but able to keep everything down. I would definitely talk to your doctor. If you need pain meds, maybe he can switch you to something easier on your stomach? And if you try not taking them, you may find the pain is totally manageable without them. Also, the only thing that seemed to help me was walking around. I felt my tummy rumbling as I moved and I did need to burp, but it helped liquids stay down by forcing them through the pouch instead back up my throat. I also took some Gas X strips and that seemed to calm things down a little. I hope you feel better soon! Edited January 31, 2015 by HereComesTheSun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chale1990 0 Posted February 1, 2015 Yes I stopped all meds prescribed by the doctor today and feel much better! The only problem I have now is that I have developed a rash all over my sides,stomach and breast :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
