What do y'all think is wrong?

[tenseintexas 182]

Every post I have made here is for a complaint- and I apologize for that. I have not had an easy timeWith this surgery. I KNOW most people

On here aren't doctors- but that doesn't mean y'all Don't have a ton of good info- so I want your opinions .

Here is the problem

About 7 weeks out

I had all These weird bubbles in my Throat and was burping a lot. Called

Dr and he said to double my Prevacid . So I did- took Twice a day.

A little before 8 weeks out I started feeling super nauseas - like didn't eat for three days and drank very little . It came out of the blue as I hadn't been nauseas One day before that . I was surprised. Anyway- called doctor and they suggested going back on clear liquids- the purée - etc. i did that . At this time all the bubbles are gone- still

Burping a lot . I went back to

Prevacid once a day

After prob 10 days I called Doctor again- the nausea isn't nearly as bad but it's still

There- constantly. When I wake up until bedtime . he gave me zofran. I have taken two and it doesn't seem to change the way I feel.

The nausea isn't like nausea before surgery- it's higher up

Like behind my ribs and in bottom of

Throat. I will burp and I feel better for a few minutes.

What is this? Is it reflux? Or really nausea? I have never gotten heartburn- pain or burning in Chest or food

Coming up . Will this go away?? I

Feel like a sick person all the time and as a mother of three little

Ones- it's hard. I keep telling myself it will get better it will get better- but this doesn't seem that common at 11 weeks

Thanks so much for any opinions

I have no idea. It is good to hear you are staying in touch with your surgeon though. He really is the best person to diagnose and treat you.

That is GERD...

Even though I have no food coming up- no tightness or burning- just constant nausea? And burping? What I do about that? That is scary to me because of throat cancer etc ....thanks!!

He really thinks it will all settle

Down and "its still early"..... I am kind of sick of hearing that/-/ hoping that is the truth though

@@tenseintexas It doesn't sound like nausea symptoms. Have they done any testing - an Upper GI Series or Endoscopy? I can't imagine not feeling well for so many weeks.

No that was not even suggested. He said he thinks" it's all still in the normal range and it will settle down "

I had them both done and it showed I had a severe case of GERD. I also had polyps in my stomach.

Hi love, I'm a nurse and getting ready for the sleeve. I think it sounds like gurd... Because that will cause nausea and burping. See what your doctor thinks... I think the first year is the hardest. I'm sure that I will have some crazy problems after because I'm a nurse! We know too much and always end up with crazy complex diseases... Good luck and please keep us posted!

Also, try a different reflux med ! Like protonix, nexium or Prilosec. A lot of people can't take Prevacid with out having surgery on top !

Do you think you could be constipated? You can have regular bowel movements and still be constipated. It happened to me. I used to burp constantly and felt nauseated. they dida KUB xray. I have to take Miralax daily.

For what it's worth, I get those bubbles (and some call it the foamies) when I eat sugar or I eat too much or I eat too fast. Everything has to be in alignment to avoid them! Good Luck, you'll find what works for you eventually.

Thanks everyone. I spoke ( and cried) to my surgeon today for a long time. He doesn't think anything is technically wrong. Doesn't think it's GERD- doesn't think it's a stricture - doesn't think I have a leak- he just thinks it is taking my stomach longer to adjust. It was hard to hear because I feel so badly- I told him I would wait until our four month appt if I can and then we have to start doing some testing.
