Question:
nausea

I had VSG done September 23, 2007. For the last 2 weeks I have been experiencing lots of nausea. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the cause could be? I can look at a glass of water and it makes me gag!!    — Stephanie0279 (posted on December 20, 2007)

didnt have the vertical sleeve done, but did read some about it. i know water still for me is awful. i put crystal light in mine. maybe you could try that. your still a new player, so give your body some time to adjust. i hope it goes away for you soon. good luck...kim

Stomach bug, pregnancy, gastroparesis, food or medication reaction, gastrointestinal disorder, the list goes on and on. It seems like a lot of people on this site assume that any GI or other health problem, for that matter, is due to their WLS. You can definitely have WLS-related problems, but you are still going to have (or be susceptible to) the same problems pre-WLS. Two weeks is a long time to have nausea. Please call your doctor. If your nausea is limited to water, try crystal light or something flavored and see if that helps. Best wishes.

I had Open RNY on 11-27-07 and was fine in the hospital for the first 3 days, when I came out, by the second day I couldn't even look at water I was also gagging. I checked myself back into the hospital and found out I had Pancreatitis and that is why I was so nausea all the time. Happy to say I am feeling much better. Good Luck!!!

Congratulations on your surgery. I had VSG 10-25-2007. I doubt if your nausea has any thing to do with the WLS but you should call your doctor. Could you be pregnant? Good luck and keep us posted. Pat
