How long does the nausea really last?

I have become a frequent flyer here

I was sleeved on August 20th and had horrible nausea, ended up in the ER for it and am back home now (short story). The nausea seemed to have subsided until this morning. I woke up with nausea today, took my meds and seemed to be fine. But it's started to come back with a vengeance and I can't take anything for it for 4 more hours!!! UGH!!!

Will this always happen, will the nausea come an go over the years. Just curious. I did try to do a little housework today - sorting and switching laundry. I became light headed and sweaty. That is when the nausea started. Am I just over doing it too soon?

No worries, I think your nausea will resolve with time. The first 2-3 weeks post-op were the worst for me. Smells or even the sight of some foods were enough to make me sick. I did stick with dissolvable Zofran, which helped quite a bit. Hope this helps!

Haha honestly?

I still get bouts of nausea at a year out. Especially in the mornings. And no, I'm not pregnant

I'm over a month out and I'm nauseous every day. I can't keep anything down. Make sure you take anti_ nausea meds.

I was very nauseas for about 3 days. After that it came every once in a while like for 5 minutes after eating. Now it is rare (8 weeks out). Maybe once a week I'm slightly nauseas if I eat too quickly. I tended to get nauseas pre sleeve too.
