Has anyone out there had the vertical gastric sleeve?   Mine was Nov. 6, and I have been nauseous almost every day since.  Is this unusual?

I had my sleeve the same day as you.  I had trouble with nausea bad for the first two weeks.  I had iv, pill, and liquid forms of various anti-nausea meds.  You should tell your surgeon about how you feel, maybe they can give you something to help.  Also, my nutritionist told me that nausea is a bad cycle because you don't eat and then you feel even more nauseous.  You should try the VSG forum and you will get tons of responses- it is aVERY active forum.  I hope you feel better soon!

I had a VSG on 11/13 and have been very lucky with no nausea BUT nausea can be a problem for VSGers and it can last up to 6 months in the worst cases but usually subsides much sooner.  Hang in there and take the nausea meds.
