I tend toward nausea, have since childhood. But since WLS< there is usually a mechanical reason. Not always, but if you are experiencing it on a regular basis, you might want to be scoped & get an eyeball in there to be sure there is no marginal ulcer or any surprises going on. I have taken ginger root, but did not see any change with it. Probably because the problem is more mechanical.

I drink hot ginger tea to help with nausea. It helped before surgery, immediately post-op, and now. I just buy the tea bags at the market, although I know several people who grate their own ginger to make it. -Kate-
