Nausea and vomiting 8 weeks postop



Recommended Posts

I am still experiencing nausea and vomiting 8 weeks postop. Is there anyone else dealing with this? My surgeon says to push through it. I'm miserable. I can't eat or drink without vomiting. I'm still in the mushy phase due to this setback so I know it's not the wrong foods. Any advice appreciated.

Call them or go in and politely but firmly tell your doctor to give you something (prescription) for nausea/vomiting. That's not right to let that go on for weeks and just tell you to push through it!

I can't imagine how awful that feels and I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. :(

Forgot to mention I'm taking Zofran and have the patch behind my ear; however, they have not been effective. Ice helps but I'm not keeping much else down.

Sorry

Did you get the lap band or gastric sleeve?

At 8 weeks out... One day I threw up my Protein shake!!! I didnt think too much about it but as the day went on I started noticing that I couldnt drink as much Water as I had been. Later that day it was time for my next Protein shake... I couldnt finish it or keep it down!!! Next day I woke up and tried to start over .... Same Thing. Called my surgeons office and they wanted to get me in the hospital for egd. It took 3 days before my egd and I was so afraid I was going to dehydrate because I was barely drinking anything. Turns out it was a structure... Once that fixed me up I have had no trouble w my Water or Protein but every now and then ill try something new and up it comes. The zofram did not help my nausea at all while I had the stricture.

I'm really wondering if it's a stricture also. I'm trying hard not to become dehydrated.

I am so sorry!

If you still have issues after their "fix", what next? How is a stricture corrected? How does a stricture occur?

Oh I feel so bad for you two.

Do you mind telling me what they think caused your stricture, and what they did to help you, and what will help you now since you still have some issues? Thank you. I'm going to go read up on this now, I've only glossed over it.

This certainly should help the OP get back to the dr for this check up. I am so sorry for both of you! =(

I am 5 months post op now and after my stricture repair I have been good. Every now and then certain foods make me a little sick but I think that's just something we all go thru. With the stricture repair what they did for me was do an egd.... They inflated a little balloon to open the stricture up. That's it. I was asleep thru the process and I just had a little gas when I woke up but felt so much better!!

I'm not sure what caused the stricture. My surgeon did tell Me that sometimes they have to do a stricture repair twice... But the first one fixed me right up!!

I'm very glad you have had great success at this repair. I did go read up on gov.com about strictures.

I had a lap band in 2008, removed in 2011 and got my VSG 2 weeks ago. So just a tad worried and curious about how everyone is doing! I love this site!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
