I'm not sure. It just started last night. I thought maybe it was a touch of the flu. I'm not sure what to take to relieve it.

I'm 5 years post op and had severe nausea solid year post op and still do about 3 to 4 days a month, I find staying on a anti depresent(certain ones) are linked with the stomach( I take efexor) and on my bad days I take Ginger root supplements, they help without the sedating effects that phenergan has. Zofran works for some people, but never helped me and is very expensive!

Call your doctor/surgeon. Irregardless of WLS, if you are sick with a 24-48 type flu bug it's best not to take anything to suppress it. We experience nausea and throw up because it's the body's defense mechanism to rid itself of what is making it sick. However, if vomiting lasts more than 24 hrs you do need to see a doctor for further treatment. Always keep up your fluids to prevent dehydration.
