Have you talked to your surgeon? He may have some suggestions for you. I was never nauseous but did have diarrhea issues starting a month after surgery. I eventually needed Rx meds and he consulted with my PCP to get them to me since my surgery was in Mexico.

Like outsidematchinside mentioned, it may turn to Constipation at some point but be careful in the meantime. I needed IV fluids for dehydration 3 times in my second month postop because I could not keep up with the Fluid loss from the diarrhea.

Nausea in the hospital could have been due to your pain meds and anesthesia.

Are you still in pain meds at home? I would put a call into your Dr. If it is really bothersome they could prescribe you something.

I still have cycles of diarrhea and Constipation at 6 months out. Just keep your fluids up. Drink some Powerade zero or G2 :)

      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?
