1 step forward and now 2 Steps backwards
I'm almost 5 weeks post op. Woke up this morning and had some dry heaving. Hadn't even eaten anything. I've been nauseated all day. What's going on I should be getting better not worse? This is the first time I've thrown up since surgery.

The past 4 or 5 days I have been nauseated every morning and afternoon. But this is the first time I throw up. I didn't seem to have an immediate reaction to anything I ate. Today however I decided to only have liquids and my vitamins and not eat. i have been getting plenty of fluids. And I don't think it's a cold or the flu because i have no other symptoms of the cold or flu.

I am really unsure what to tell you as I don't tend to have these issues. If I am starting to think I might I take a Zantac 150 and sometimes a Gaviscon but these are for acid and heartburn more than nausea.
I googled this site and got a few ideas from previous posts ...

Do you have your gall bladder? I know that this can be an issue.
Just some thoughts.
My vitamins do make me nauseated. I don't know what to do about that cause I've tried different ones. All the same.
I do have my gall bladder. Having it causes nausea or not having it?

Having it. My gallbladder was the WHOLE reason I was nauseated from day 1 with my VSG and even BEFORE. No one had ever looked at my gallbladder before. I was constantly nauseated, I was just so used to it. Turns out it was full of sludge, gallstones & was only functioning at 3%! 3 weeks after having it removed I haven't felt nauseated ONCE. Having it taken out was a miracle for me.

Wow, however I'm confused cause in my preop testing they tested it and they said it was beautiful. Now stones or issues. Can they miss if there's a problem?
