rs 1,473 Posted October 26, 2018 I'm almost 3 months post surgery. I take Omeprazole every morning but I still get nauseous at different points in the day. Haven't figured out the trigger but in the meantime I need to find something to address the symptom. Pepto Bismol was my go-to before surgery but it doesn't seem to help now. Any recommendations?

MargoCL 677 Posted October 26, 2018 Are you taking the Omeprazole to help with morning nausea? My doctor took me off it and now only use it as needed. I have used it more in the last week because of my office eating (we've had a catered lunch everyday) and it has been my go to. Early after my surgery I had to move from taking it in the evenings to taking it just after symptoms presented. 1 rs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rs 1,473 Posted October 27, 2018 I'm taking it in the morning because that's what the Dr told me to do after surgery. I stopped taking it a couple days later because I just couldn't keep anything down at all, especially about pills. Ended up having fluids pumped in me. Dr said to take the Omeprazole because it will help. And in general it does seem to help but not completely. I am absolutely miserable. And of course it's the weekend so the Doctors aren't around. I'm having a really tough time seeing the benefits outweigh the hardships of this surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted October 27, 2018 Zofran from the begining, Zofran still, and the omeprazole made me puke last evening. I DO NOT LIJE OR APPRECIATE THAT STUFF! I was on it from my gastroenterologist when Hector my baby gastric,ulcer was discovered last December, and was back on it( Doctor Needleman &staff#s idea post surgery) and I now have 5 additional, 2 in my RNY pouch, 3 on the back wall of the jejunem. Why will no one listen when I shout that it IS NOT gastropotective for ME? Dang it, let me go back to my Dexilent, that did work! 1 Alpaca55 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

libbyleeb 97 Posted October 28, 2018 I'm almost 3 months post surgery. I take Omeprazole every morning but I still get nauseous at different points in the day. Haven't figured out the trigger but in the meantime I need to find something to address the symptom. Pepto Bismol was my go-to before surgery but it doesn't seem to help now. Any recommendations?I went through a period where I drank a lot of mint tea. It helped. Ginger tea can be good too. Good luck. I’m sure it will pass. 1 rs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
