Recommended Posts

Sorry to hear you're sick! My surgery was last Friday and never once felt that way. Call your surgeon or their assistant for advice.

Hope you feel better!

Do you have peppermint essential oils or peppermint extract? Even smelling peppermint will help with nausea. I had terrible nausea and that got me through. Good luck and hope it gets better soon.

Did your surgeon give you a script for anti nausea meds? If not, call and ask for one. You need to be able to sip Water.< /p>

I had it severely in the hospital and just nausea when I got home. I received zofran in the hospital every opportunity they could give it to me and it seemed it didn't work. When I moved I dry heaved. After my leak test they gave me something for pain and it helped with dry heaves.

For me a cold cloth on my forehead or neck along with nausea meds I put under my tongue helped at home.

I'm two days out from my sleeve, and for those first two days I had horrible dry heaving. :( The Doctor said some of it might have been from drinking too fast, but either way, between the nausea medicine and the third day, it seems to have stopped completely, thank goodness.

I hope that yours stop soon!! <3

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
