I had my surgery Friday but I still can't drink anything . When I do I just gag. I am extremely nauseated and full of gas. Any recommendations? What can I take for nausea?

Did you surgeon give you any prescriptions for acid reflux and nausea? I was very fortunate to not have nausea once I was home but in the hospital I was given Zofran for nausea. I was also given Prevacid for one month post op.

Call yor surgeon's office, tell the answering service you need a call from the surgeon or on call doctor. You can probably get a prescription called into your pharmacy today.

to get rid of the gas do some walking it really does help. IF they did not send you home with any medication to help you, you should get in touch with your doc. once you get that taken care of just hang in there it really does get better and it does not take very long. My first couple of days were a little rough but after that things got better really quickly.

You must sip Water or you will end up back in the hospital with dehydration. Flavor the water with drops if necessary. 1 ounce every 15 minutes if that is all you can do. It got much easier quickly for me, but those first two days with no IV to keep myself hydrated were difficult. Walk, walk, walk....even down the driveway and back...got rid of the gas quickly for me. Good luck!

I started my Vitamins today and have had quite a bit of nausea from them. I am hoping this gets better.

Make sure you call your Dr ASAP. They should have an after hours number.

Also try different temperatures of fluids. At first, warm was all I could handle. Cold made my stomach cramp up. Thankfully that stopped after a few days.

I was nauseated and contacted the after care nurse. She advised me to add an additional dose of prilosec because she felt that I probably had too much acid in my tummy. Seemed to do the trick. But contact your team. You cannot allow yourself to be dehydrated.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
