Talk to your doctor and dietician.

9 weeks out and having nausea too, mostly morning time, I have to force myself to eat and I can keep it down. I got a script for nausea meds from my surgeon but that's all.

Talk to your surgeon -- if your surgeon isn't local, talk to your PCP.

Call your doctor. You probably need a good PPI and possibly something for nausea.

Well if the heartburn and nausea are still terrible even on your meds, I would definitely talk to your surgeon.

I'm 3 weeks out and feel worse than I did the first week.I'm trying to keep my Water going. I can usually keep food down but keeping it in is another story and Protein is so hard on my stomach. Vitamins bother me, my bp meds bother me, my pain and sleep meds make me so nauseated. I can't put anything in without running to the bathroom. Then of course it counteracts the water situation. I wish it would get better soon

Yes she said I was having a problem with whey protein/artificial sweeteners and to try to get it naturally it's better than it was but some things just set me off. Especially my meds. I have to drive my son to work so I can't take them till late and I have to sit upfor at least an hour. food wise I'm finding my tummy is handling refried Beans and some shredded cheese. Fairly well. At least it's got Protein. I have an appt next week so we well revisit it then. I've always had stomach issues. I kinda knew this was gonna be harderthan I wanted it to.

      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?
