How often have you gotten sick?



Recommended Posts

Hopefully by this time you are already in surgery or done with surgery because my experience is different than the previous posters. Despite having a nausea patch and every single different kind of nausea medicine available administered after surgery I struggled ALOT with nausea and dry heaving about 3-4 hours after surgery. We just couldn’t get it under control. However, by the next day I felt great! That was just my personal reaction to the anesthesia used for surgery and it had to get out of my system. I am 6 days post op and typically wake up a bit nauseous but nothing so bad that I would throw up.

I have not vomited in the 16 months since gastric bypass. Nor was I nauseous from the general anesthesia. Thankfully, general anesthesia has never caused me any problems. Hope your surgery went well!

I just had surgery July 23rd, and vomited that night and early morning. I think it was from a combination of the anesthetic and gas they use for laparoscopy surgery. They sent me home with meds for nausea and gas the next day, which helps a little. I usually have to walk to relieve the pressure.

10 months post op and I still throw up a few time a month at least. I’ve thrown up maybe 30 or more times this year? Not sure- but more than I’ve ever in my whole life combined! Not fun at all. Although when you don’t have stomach acid anymore it’s not as painful.

One week out and I threw up/dry heaved on day 2 in the hospital. After that, they loaded me up on nausea medication for the rest of my stay. Haven’t had any issues at home.

Once, immediately after waking up from surgery.

I would TAKE THAT just to know things will be better afterward! Karma- are You Tuned In?

I never threw up and I never got the foamies. I get dumping syndrome sometimes which manifests as hot flashes and a stomach ache if I eat too much or have too much sugar.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
