Post Op Nausea for 1 Mont

I woke up from my RNY on the 28th feeling WONDERFUL and continued that way for another day, but on the third day...the NAUSEA hit. I struggled with dry heaves which were controlled with meds, but the nausea, though not severe, never really leaves. Please tell me this won't last forever. I'm not sure I did the right thing having this surgery. This is agony.

Hi Kathy, I haven't had your problem... but I hope you feel better soon. Have you called your surgeon? Laura

oh, believe me, he knows. My stay in the hospital was extended to five days to try to deal with the nausea and I know he got tired of receiving calls from the nurses asking for anti-emetics. I don't see him again until 17 June... I pray constantly for relief.

I am 5 weeks post-op and have struggled with nausea the whole time. Ask your doctor for a scopolamine patch to put behind your ear. It's what people take to not be nauseous on cruises. Without those patches, I couldn't keep anything down. My doctor says it can go away....but could it could take months! At least this is a short-term solution to get you through each day.
