Horrible first 3 days



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery Tuesday may 19. I had absolutely no pain.. But the nausea I experienced felt like death! I had to stay in the hospital 3 days bcs I couldn't keep anything down aND I could barely move my head without feeling dizzy. I know I've heard people talk about the nausea but I never ever thought it could be that bad!

I'm not any help because I've really experienced zero nausea. I'm now 17 days out. However, my Dr. Said ppl who get nauseous tend to do better. I'm sure it will subside. I'm sorry ur not feeling well :-(

Sorry for the rough time. Do you have anti nausea meds? Zofran/companizine/---you can get Zofran in disintergrating pills and compazine comes in suppository form if you cannot get meds down. I sympathize with you. I wont get into details from my sleeve in 2012 (you can find my threads) but it is likely due to anesthesia...let it work thru and follow your doctor instructions.....hang in there. you can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the rx can really help. sometimes our bodies just do not like the surgical process. sip sip sip!

I was sleeved on 5/14/15 and like you I had nausea the first two days. I was so relieved they kept me in hospital an extra day because they kept me on IVs and the nurses were there every four hours with a shot of Zofran. after 24 hours of that, I could keep down Water and the feeling went away. I never actually threw up, but I was scared if I started to I might mess up the surgery.

Thank goodness that only lasted a bit, and I haven't been nauseous since!

Hang in there!

They were giving me a rotation of 3 medicines and finally it all came together! I'm just sooo thankful that I have finally passed that stage. Thanks everyone ! !

      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.
