Vomiting/Dry heaving



Recommended Posts

So since week 5 post op I have been vomiting. Mostly dry heaving but also vomiting bile. This does not happen when I eat or drink. It's so random. Today I dry heaved on 3 separate occasions which has been the worst so far. My surgeon seems to think I have a problem with my diaphragm so he's asked my GP to prescribe me some tablets to hopefully help. I don't get nauseous all of a sudden I just get this feeling and I have to go to the toilet immediately. I have an extremely sore throats all the time but no heartburn. This started happening after I was taken off my gas tablets. Anyone experienced this? It's to tiring and scary at the same time because it happens when I drive and I have to pull over immediately.

Sounds like gas or overeating. Why were you taken off gas tablets?

I had this problem when I tried to eat to much. I learned quick not to do it.

Funny enough I'm not eating enough because of the whole palaver. Surgeon is concerned about it. I have to force myself to eat. I'm hoping it will sort itself out. Thanks guys.

I was only prescribe gas tablets for 5 weeks. I believe it's gas as well. Time will tell.

I have had nausea with this as well as my friend. We are surgically just a couple weeks apart. I asked for a scapolsmine patch, small doses of Ativan and I have an essential oil diffuser and I use lemon or peppermint essential oils and let them permeate the air. I was desperate to do anything that I could to rid the nausea. I'm a nurse so I know what to ask for. It has helped my friend and me and I'm so glad. I have also seen this combination work with my cancer patients.

The tablets I have been prescribed is for GERD and ulcers. I woke up got out of bed dry heave. Took the tablets ate a 1/3 of a Protein bar. Went for a walk. Came home dry heave. I'm desperate for this to stop.

I bought some Powerade and that seem to have done the trick!! I'm so thirsty it's the only thing I can get down me. Will have to do for a few days until this all sorts out. I've had the worse day today. I stopped counting after dry heaving 6 times today.

If you think it is gas you can buy simethicone (Gas X) over the counter.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
