I'M SO MAD AT MY PRIM CARE PHYS!!!!!!!!!!!--trying to prevent nausea



Recommended Posts

haha, lindata, the stomach thing must be an arkansas thing!!!!...lol

i understand my doctor's rationale, completely, and i would agree that i was more annoyed than actually mad. if i do throw up over the weekend, i will go to the ER. but, my neurologist prescribes phenergan like no tomorrow. too bad she's closed today.

My Pcp prescribes me 90 tablets of Phenegran every 3 months for just in case times. I've never ever had any trouble and if I run out I just call him and he calls it in for me.

Have you been on the meds before bandster?

My band doctor will call things in for me if I need him to. PCP won't call things in. Gyno will (if I tell her I've taken them before, or if she's prescribed them herself to me in the past).

It might be they don't know how you'll react to it, and for example what if the anti-nausea meds cause your blood pressure to rise. If you came to see them, they'd know your blood pressure was high (just an example), and would know not to give you that med, but maybe an alternative, and so on.

So it's hard for them to just prescribe on the phone. Though I try as often as I can, my insurance doesn't pay for me to show up at some of my doctors just for fun :)

My doctors told me it was fine if i threw up when I was sick. They just dont want you throwing up excessively. I called about that also when I had the flu and thats what they told me.

There are some good over the counter choices such as Mylanta which really seems to help my nausea. Ginger tea also works well. I hope you don't get the virus.

thank you for all of your posts. so far so good. unfortunately it appears that my son was not contagious, or if he was it is something that his father and i have already had. lol. i say unfortunately, because he keeps having weird stuff happen, and it really worries me sometimes.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
