I have been sleeved

[Joy@boman 151]

I got sleeved and hernia repair monday morning. Woke up from surgery with tons of pressure in my diaphragm from fas bubbles. Right where they did hernia repair. I have been up walking a lot, just got cleared by xray to swallow liquids. Nausea has been a huge issue. They may keep me an extra day because of my getting sick. Finally got chicken broth and Jello but lost interest very fast. Terrified of dry heaving anymore.

Hope you feel better soon. The hernias repaired with the sleeve are pretty common. They should be able to give you something for nausea?

These next few days will suck, but it will get better soon. Hang in there!

@@Joy@boman I had surgery last week and had to stay an extra day because of nausea. Ask for the anti-nausea patch they put behind your ear. That seemed to help me. Also - I didn't take my pain meds by day 3 because I thought they may have been making me more nauseous. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks guys I am home now. Trying to get some Protein shake down me. My sleeve is still pretty swollen, so feels like a big lump in there. Everything I eat tastes like dirty pennies. I am content with cough drops to soothe irritated throat. No problems with sleeve surgery. Mostly hernia repair pain.

Why do they give you pills to swallow for nausea instead of the melt in your mouth ones. Having really hard time keeping it down

There is an anti nausea patch for behind the ear, and one that melts under your tongue. Maybe you can ask for one of them?

They gave me zofran and regalan for nausea via the IV

[Joy@boman 151]

Me too at hospital but at home they gave me pills.

maybe ur insurance doesn't cover the zofran odt ...I think that's what they are called that melt under the tongue.

They also have promethazine suppositories...not so fun but yeh...

Still ask ur pharmacy about the zofran odt and see why you can't get that one ...
