Question:
I am 3 weeks post-op with an open RNY. Surgery went great and I feel pretty good.

However, I hope this doen't sound strange, but I get very nauceous when I brush my teeth and I gag a lot and have even thrown up. I feel like I have a lot of saliva and it makes me feel sick after I brush. I have no problem keeping food down, just this! Any advice??? Thank you    — Marybeth O. (posted on April 17, 2002)

I had some of this also, two things really helped, one was to take a allergy pill, and the other was to take liquid mylanta, I know I keep telling people to try the mylanta but I only needed to take about a bottle, after it was gone the gag was better.
